Some barriers while installing

[Pisces032]

I am very interested in the BYTEWEIGHT plugin in your BAP product because I have read a paper about the BYTEWEIGHT algorithm. However, I have encountered many issues while installing BAP, and I have never been able to install it successfully due to missing various libraries.
Could you please recommend an operating system platform for BAP? I have tried on Ubuntu 23.10.1 and Debian Wheezy
7.6, but both attempts have failed.

Then, I will describe the issues I encountered:

Attempt on Debian Wheezy 7.6:
According to the description on BAP's GitHub page, the official site provides pre-built binary packages for the Debian distribution.


After downloading the three files: bap, libbap, and libbap-dev, I found that the dpkg version was too low to install them.

So I tried to update dpkg, but it didn't work. Finally, I manually unpacked and repacked the deb files and installed the fixed new packages.


Then, during installation, an error occurred saying that the libffi6 package was missing, but I was unable to install this missing package.



GPT suggested that I might need to upgrade the libc6 package, but this is a system-level operation that needs to be handled with caution. I was not sure if this would solve the problem, so I stopped there.

Attempt on Ubuntu 23.10.1:
Then I tried on a newer operating system, Ubuntu 23.10.1, but the libffi6 package was still missing.


So I started to try installing from source. However, I encountered an error due to missing llvm dependencies.


When I tried to install llvm, I got over a hundred errors.


I would like to ask the developers for help on how to resolve these installation issues. Am I installing the libraries incorrectly, or should I use a specific operating system environment for better results?
