Missing libacl.h header when building.

[David Castillo]

Hi everyone!

I'm following the Hacking Guide, trying to build rkt from source. However, it seems my machine (Ubuntu 15.10, 64 bit) is missing libacl headers:

checking for acl/libacl.h... no
configure: error: *** No development headers for libacl found

I'd really appreciate any help or hint on what I should try next.

Thanks in advance!

Ah, I took a look at travis.yaml and saw how to install it:

sudo apt-get install -y libacl1-dev

TrouSerS dev files were missing too, but I installed them with

sudo apt-get install trousers-dbg

This might have been a silly problem, I realize now, but it might be useful for someone with the same problems :)

Glad you figured it out. The build dependencies are detailed in this document: https://github.com/coreos/rkt/blob/master/Documentation/dependencies.md#build-time-dependencies

We do link to it from the hacking guide (here) - but perhaps we could make it more obvious somehow?

I'd be happy to edit the docs and add the name of the packages where those required libs can be found :)
