Build failing while installing Linenoise

[sumanstats]

Hi there,

I am trying to install Linenoise in this docker image.
But the build is failing and throwing this error:

I couldn't make out anything from error message.

Any help!!

It got resolved after installingapt-get build essential.
This was the dockerfile.

FROM debian:sid
WORKDIR /

RUN apt-get update \
  && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends build-essential \
  git nano libzmq3-dev libreadline-dev ca-certificates\
  && rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/* \
  && git clone https://github.com/rakudo/rakudo.git \
  && cd rakudo && perl Configure.pl --prefix=/usr --gen-moar --gen-nqp --backends=moar \
  && make && make install && cd .. && rm -rf rakudo \
  && apt-get purge -y --auto-remove build-essential 


RUN git clone https://github.com/ugexe/zef.git && cd zef && perl6 -I. bin/zef install . && cd .. && rm -rf zef
ENV PATH /usr/share/perl6/site/bin:$PATH


CMD ["perl6", "--version"]

Now I am going to modify the docker image.

Thanks,

@sumandoc Since you worked out the problem, is it ok to close this issue?

[sumanstats]

@hoelzro Yes.

I would highly recommend to mention the exact dependencies of Linenoise in README file, because I get it to working after installing apt-get install build-essential which of course brings many unwanted tools along with it.
This package is a requirement while making this image. I even wrote a blog on it .

And would love to see UTF-8 support in this package.

Best,
Suman

@sumandoc Thanks for the tip - I'll add a notice about build-essential to the README. UTF-8 support is present in a branch (see #20), but I need some features in LibraryMake in order to merge it.
