error when I do "make install_timeloop"

[negishubham]

Hi,

I am following the native install steps from this link: https://timeloop.csail.mit.edu/v4/installation#to-do-need-an-install-script-for-pytimeloop . But when I do "make install_timeloop" I am getting below error:

/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_log_setup: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_filesystem: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_log: No such file or directory
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lboost_thread: No such file or directory
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
scons: *** [build/timeloop-compound-config-test] Error 1
scons: building terminated because of errors.
make: *** [Makefile:121: install_timeloop] Error 2

Thanks!

I am not an expert here, but I was able to build Timeloop from source. You need to have certain libraries preinstalled before installing Timeloop. Below is the list from my notes. Hope this helps.

apt-get update
apt-get install -y vim
apt-get install python3-pip
apt-get install -y libconfig++-dev
apt-get install -y libboost-dev
apt-get install -y libboost-iostreams-dev
apt-get install -y libboost-serialization-dev
apt-get install -y libyaml-cpp-dev
apt-get install -y libncurses-dev
apt-get install -y libtinfo-dev
apt-get install -y libgpm-dev
pip3 install scons --break-system-packages

Thanks for the reply. I do have all these packages. Looks like there is some issue with setting some path to lboost.
