Ubuntu 18.04 Zeroc Ice Builder

Builds Zeroc Ice for Ubuntu 18.04. Ice 3.6 is built from source and a wheel is also created.

This can be used to create installable binary packages as an alternative to compiling from source using pip.

docker build -t builder .
docker run --rm -v $PWD/dist:/dist builder

To build a different version of Ice:

docker run --rm -v $PWD/dist:/dist builder VERSION

Packages will be copied to $PWD/dist.

Installing the binaries

cd /opt
tar -zxf ice-3.6.5-${RELEASE}-ubuntu1804-amd64.tar.gz

These binaries are compiled with a prefix of /opt/ice-3.6.5-${RELEASE}. It may be possible to relocate them but this is untested.
