libfclib-dev isn't available in ppa in Ubuntu 18.04 bionic

[pawanw17]

In the installation page, maybe it'll be a good idea to have instructions to install from source.
https://github.com/pawanw17/dsr-graph/blob/development/README.md

will create a PR suggesting the alternate installation if anyone faces issues with ppa installation.

I think there was a similar package because we were using it and I don't think we compiled it from sources in 18.04

Can I have the name if possible because my build with FCL_SUPPORT is failing on bionic, however it builds fine on 20.04 Focal.

apt-get install --no-install-recommends --yes libfcl-dev does it work for you in bionic? It looks like this is the package in the https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/libfcl-dev

[pawanw17]

nope, still failing :/

[orensbruli]

Oh, ok. I think I know what is the problem.
libfclib-dev vs libfcl-dev
I need to do some more testing to see what's really happening.

[pawanw17]

I did some testing and found out that libfclib-dev is needed to build... in ubuntu 20.04, but am unable to properly install libfclib-dev on bionic...

[orensbruli]

I'm not sure libfclib-dev is really needed in 18 or 20. I think it was a typo. What I really think it's needed is libfcl-dev.
Could you try to uninstall libfclib-dev and install libfcl-dev in your Bionic distribution and tell us if something changes?

[pawanw17]

Yes sure!

[pawanw17]

I have libfcl-dev but the build's still failing with FCL_SUPPORT ...

[pawanw17]

Alright so on a fresh install of ubuntu (tested in a vm) I was able to build it successfully with libfcl-dev only :) , I think there might be some issue with my distro, will try to debug it, thanks for correcting the typo!

[orensbruli]

Ok! Perfect. Happy to know. Best!
