buildProverServer can't find fq.o and fr.o

[a00012025]

Hi, I tried to follow the script in README to compile the prover in server mode.

npm install
git submodule init
git submodule update
npx task buildPistache
npx task buildProverServer

However I encountered following error when running npx task buildProverServer:

g++ -I. -I../src -I../depends/pistache/include -I../depends/json/single_include -I../depends/ffiasm/c ../src/main_proofserver.cpp ../src/proverapi.cpp ../src/fullprover.cpp ../src/binfile_utils.cpp ../src/wtns_utils.cpp ../src/zkey_utils.cpp ../src/logger.cpp ../depends/ffiasm/c/misc.cpp ../depends/ffiasm/c/naf.cpp ../depends/ffiasm/c/splitparstr.cpp ../depends/ffiasm/c/alt_bn128.cpp fq.cpp fq.o fr.cpp fr.o -L../depends/pistache/build/src -lpistache -o proverServer -fmax-errors=5 -pthread -std=c++17 -fopenmp -lgmp -lsodium -g -DSANITY_CHECK

My environment is Ubuntu 20.04. Is it because fq.o and fr.o weren't built successfully? Any suggestion would help, thanks.

Hi @a00012025!

We've switched build system from nodejs tasks to cmake, and added builds for arm64, iOS & Android, and as static&shared libs, but haven't ported buildProverServer to cmake.

This task is in our todo list, but priority is low (you are the first one to ask about it). But contributions are welcome!

@OBrezhniev HI， When can we probably use this proverServer?
