Build on Linux failed: filesystem: No such file or director

gcc did not implement C++17-compliant std::filesystem until GCC 8.

This StackOverflow post has a good explanation of the issue: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/45867379/why-does-gcc-not-seem-to-have-the-filesystem-standard-library

Exact, you have to use a more recent compiler. If you cannot install a different one on your system, you may be able to build Souffle in a container using Docker for instance.
