Installation of leveldb fails

michaelkunzmann-sap commented 6 years ago

Hi,

We are trying to install the alastria-node on a Ubuntu 16.04 64bit machine with 2 cpu cores, 4gb of ram and 30gb of disk space.

We followed the instructions in the readme, executing the bootstrap.sh script. However, it looks like the leveldb installation fails:

https://github.com/google/leveldb is failing to compile in Ubuntu LTS with build-essentials (g++ 5.4.0) installed. LevelDB is a dependency for https://github.com/jpmorganchase/quorum . We are going to submit this bug upstream to leveldb and modify the bootstrap script to checkout some good revision instead of the HEAD of their repo in the meantime.

As stated in https://github.com/google/leveldb/issues/569 , LevelDB has migrated from GNU Make to CMake (a version so new its not on the distro repositories), so we are going to install cmake from upstream and then, the new release of leveldb

alastria / alastria-node

Installation of leveldb fails #141
