Dockerfile

FROM ubuntu:24.04
ARG TARFILE=latest

# 1. Ubuntu 24.04 has python 3.12 standard. Unfortunately, trex, as of
#    the current version 3.06, does not work with python 3.12, but
#    "should" work with python 3.11.
#    Therefore, we install python 3.11 (in parallel with the system 3.12)
#    and set up a venv with it (and use pip in the venv to install the
#    python modules needed for trex). Trex must be started in this 3.11 venv.
#
#    The "deadsnakes" ppa has python 3.11
#
# 2. When trex (_t-rex-64) start in the container, it emits an error:
#
#	./_t-rex-64: so/x86_64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.30'
#		not found (required by /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libicuuc.so.74)
#
#    presumably because it is trying to use the system libicuuc and
#    its own bundled libstdc++.so.6
#
#    Try to work around this problem by copying the system libstdc++.so.6
#    (which DOES support GLIBCXX_3.4.30) into trex's so/x86_64 directory.
