Add build instructions for linux

[andrew-epstein]

@L3P3: Can you try adding #include <cctype> to the top of Info.hpp, along with the other lines that begin with #include? If that fixes the problem, then I'll make sure to include a fix for this issue in the next version.

On Ubuntu 19, if I git clone and enter the given g++ command, beside a few warnings, I get errors like these:

/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccitcPAu.o: in function `BmpFilter::encode(File*, File*, unsigned long, int, int&)':
paq8px.cpp:(.text+0x540): undefined reference to `Shared::getInstance()'
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccitcPAu.o: in function `Array<char, 16>::~Array()':

/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccitcPAu.o: in function `directEncodeBlock(BlockType, File*, unsigned long, Encoder&, int)':

Can you try the following?

cmake .
make

[L3P3]

paq8px/model/Info.cpp: In member function ‘void Info::predict(uint8_t)’:

Yes, that did it.

[L3P3]

And also update the README with that cmake and make commands...

Yes, of course, will do.

[moisespr123]

Updated the README to include newer instructions with cmake and make.

I believe this issue may be closed.
