Chromium's depot_tools are not able to fetch V8's source on Alpine Linux #259
Description
I'm getting an error when trying to install libv8. I'm using Ruby 2.5.0 on Alpine Linux. It seems to be a problem with downloading the sources.
gem install libv8 Building native extensions. This could take a while...
ERROR: Error installing libv8:

Strange enough install in the docker ruby:2.5-alpine container just works:
Notable similarities: It's the exact same version.
Notable difference: It's not building native extensions. And that's where my local install fails.
gemversion is 2.7.7 in docker and 2.7.6 native.[-]"unable to fetch v8 source" Ruby 2.5.0 / Alpine Linux[/-][+]depot_tools are not able to fetch V8's source on Alpine Linux[/+]ignisf commentedon Jun 27, 2018
There seems to be lack of upstream support of the SDK with Alpine at this point:

Star those issues to help get them resolved or even better -- suggest patches.

Any idea why this just works within a docker container?
ignisf commentedon Jun 28, 2018
Hey, it does not.
If you take a closer look,
gemdownloads the Linux binary versionFetching: libv8-6.3.292.48.1-*x86_64-linux*.gem (100%)This has been linked against glibc, which makes it unusable on Alpine afaik. :(
ignisf commentedon Jun 28, 2018
Huh... Actually it might work -- the Dockerfile you're using downloads and compiles Ruby from source which I think is linked against glibc... https://github.com/docker-library/ruby/blob/699a04311386ecc98ca242fc9bdee17fb4008863/2.5/alpine3.7/Dockerfile
The Ruby in Alpine's repos is not and in fact is patched to not use binary versions of gems because of the reason I outlined in the comment above.
niko commentedon Jun 29, 2018
Oh. Right. That makes sense.

Made a comment here regarding musl support and a possible partially upstream solution: #270 (comment)
lloeki commentedon Dec 4, 2023
Closing as this issue is completely sidestepped in libv8-node, and has musl builds.
