How to build Green-Marl on Ubuntu 18.04 or later / Linux Mint 19

The offcial Green-Marl from Stanford is old at least 5 years(as on date). The master branch is not able to build/make sucessully. There were some errors and build got failed. Fortunately, I saw a pullrequest #132 by Reto Achermann @achreto and it works like charm.

$ mkdir achretoGreenMarl && cd achretoGreenMarl
$ git clone https://github.com/achreto/Green-Marl.git .
$ cd achretoGreenMarl
$ make

That's it. It works fine. You could check.

$ cd achretoGreenMarl/bin
$ ./gm_comp  -v
lib this = 0x5653e0f5dde0
version 0.3.0

TaTa bye.
