Error while building on Ubuntu 20.04 due to Libtins

[AkiMosi]

I executed ./build. It was building upto 90% then suddenly stopped after throwing an error. Then I tried again, then it stopped at 21%. I even tried building it non interactive, still got the same error. I have attached the following error.

Package libtins was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libtins.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libtins' found

I think it's because of the package libtins, is it due to the variation of the version of the package or something else?

[AkiMosi]

I even tried installing libtins separately, but still got the same error!

Hi @AkiMosi. The error is telling you that you are missing the C++ boost libraries. Make sure that you have installed the "dev" packages of boost from your distribution.
The build script should have installed this but somehow failed. @pepper-jk, would you happen to know why this would be the case?

[pepper-jk]

@AkiMosi what distribution are you running?

Please provide the output of ./build.sh --full.

I think it's because of the package libtins, [...]

Normally libtins will be build by the build or dependency installation script, if the distro does not have a package for it.
But I have not yet adjusted the scripts since before the release of Ubuntu 20.04. This might cause trouble. I will take a look at it once I have your output. Probably on Sunday.

[AkiMosi]

@AkiMosi what distribution are you running?

@pepper-jk yeah, I am using Ubuntu 20.04

[pepper-jk]

I've updated the travisCI config and pushed it to a new branch ubuntu_20.04.

Running the test now:
https://travis-ci.org/github/tklab-tud/ID2T/builds/711816491

Look for distribution=ubuntu, version=rolling.
I might take a look at it tomorrow. Maybe even do some manual debugging if I have the time.

EDIT:
Am running the tests again after pushing a fix for the ubuntu docker image. I might come back to this later. If you want to see the results for yourself, take a look at the most recent build of the ubuntu_20.04 branch.

EDIT 2:
Did not do the trick, I must have missed something. I don't know when I will find time to fix it though.
Before the tests are not running, I can not start the debugging process either.
I'm sorry about that.

@AkiMosi since I probably will not able to debug the issue myself in the near future, I would suggest you try the following:

• install the libtins-dev package manually (the -dev part is important
  • if this is not what you already did

    I even tried installing libtins separately, but still got the same error!

• then, as suggested above, run ./build.sh --full:

  Please provide the output of ./build.sh --full

• if this does not work run ./build.sh --full --non-interactive

Even if it does not work, any output logs would be a great help to figure this out.
Also notes on the versions of your dependencies would be appreciated, as this might not necessarily needs to be an issue with Ubuntu 20.04.

Please also note our issue #104, which was opened before the first stable release of Ubuntu 20.04, and let us know over there, if you encounter the same problem.

If this issue persists, feel free to look into our dependency documentation or in our dependency installation scripts build.sh and resources/install_dependencies.sh for more information. And of cause if you figure it out, post your solution here and/or send a pull request.

@AkiMosi anything new?
