Hi all! Has anyone tried to run or compile planck on Alpine linux? We’d like to run planck inside Alpine docker image. It seems that the precompiled Debian and Arch binaries are compiled against glibc that is not available on Alpine. Compiling on Alpine fails as well:

### Building 1st stage Planck binary
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:458 (message):

Call Stack (most recent call first):

Build Failed.

https://github.com/planck-repl/planck/wiki/Building describes installing build dependencies for various Linux distributions. Alpine is not specifically covered, but that page may help sort out what might be missing. (It is unfortunate CMake isn’t indicating the missing package). @yka

Thanks. I’ve indeed been checking that page and adding the dependencies. The thing is now I’m a bit stuck because CMake isn’t giving any clues.

I’ll check the dependencies once more. If I get it compiled, I can post a list of the needed packages so that they can be added on the wiki page 🙂

Ha! I had one missing dependency. Now I get another failure:

Perhaps an additional header include is needed in that file for Alpine

Looks like some other people have also made Alpine compatability fixes for ACCESSPERMS https://github.com/ceph/ceph/commit/0314cffbee9c0b3ae6c24aea1bbf56afc2e49a40

Yeah, if you find a suitable #ifndef to add to the code near there, contribute that as a patch to Planck

I’ll take a look at it later

@borkdude I've released Planck 2.25.0. Let me know if you could use any particular binary for this release added to https://planck-repl.org/binaries/

@mfikes I'm on macOS. I don't see 2.25.0 listed there.

If you use Homebrew, it is in the queue to be built for brew

:thumbsup:

I added the ACCESSPERMS macro via #ifndef, but still no luck. I’m a bit more lost now:

@yka Maybe I'll give it a stab. I see there is a Vagrant build for Alpine https://app.vagrantup.com/alpine/boxes/alpine64/versions/3.7.0

That version of Alpine might be a little old

I used alpine:3.11 docker base image

I installed at least the following packages: gcc make cmake pkgconf unzip curl-dev libzip-dev webkit2gtk perl-utils musl-dev webkit2gtk-dev I’ll make a Dockerfile out of that

Just a minute. I need to test that it works.

oh, obviously Clojure too, and Java.

Here’s a big bunch of the needed Alpine packages, in a Dockerfile: https://gist.github.com/ykarikos/1d14685307636b3391df38441ce30aa3 It’s still missing something, but it’s getting a bit too late here in Finland, so I have to get some sleep now.
