Minimum OS requirement is Ubuntu specific about procmon-for-linux

[stemid]

I tried building it on Fedora by installing the following packages;

sudo dnf install bison '@Development tools' flex libedit-devel llvm6.0-devel llvm6.0-libs \
  clang-devel elfutils-libelf-devel zlib-devel llvm6.0-static bcc

But when running cmake I just get this issue.

-- Found LLVM: /usr/lib64/llvm6.0/include 6.0.1
CMake Error at build/_deps/bcc-src/CMakeLists.txt:58 (message):
  Unable to find clang libraries

I tried pointing to the LLVM dirs with -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/usr/lib64 and -DLLVM_LIBRARY_DIRS=/usr/lib64/llvm6.0/lib but no joy. Anyone got any idea how to compile this?

I can't find clang6.0 on Fedora 32, package was orphaned a while back.

Arch and Fedora is using clang 10 which cant build bcc 0.10 (iovisor/bcc@1599c2ef8206988d5d)

I came a bit further towards running it on Fedora with this Dockerfile but it's still generating a lot of errors and the curses UI is empty of any data so it doesn't seem to work.

Maybe it's helpful to some Fedora user. I can't spend more time on this myself. :)

install_bcc.sh is simply;

#!/usr/bin/env bash

cd /source
git clone --branch tag_v0.10.0 https://github.com/iovisor/bcc.git
mkdir bcc/build
cd bcc/build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make -j$(nproc)
make install

$ docker build -t procmon .
$ docker run -ti -v "$(pwd)/:/source" --privileged procmon

And then you can finish the build in the container and find the binary in build/.

I've downgraded my F32 system to cgroupsv1 because I feel that podman isn't ready for daily use yet.
