I'm trying compile Pony on Alpine Linux (MUSL based) and failing. is there any guidance on how to do that?

@ehudkaldor - at the moment, I don't think it is possible.

Last time I tried to compile Pony on Alpine, there were definitely a few things that were broken that need to be fixed. I don't know that it's ever successfully been compiled with musl. If someone wants to step up and work on resolving the issues, this ticket can be a place to track that effort.

Because I happen to have the tabs open:

  • the latest apk for LLVM is 3.8.1, here,
  • libressl is here, and
  • pcre2 is here.

Alpine compatibility for pony
b5f5ff2 
Changes related to getting pony compiling and running on Alpine
Linux Edge.

* Define `_GNU_SOURCE` so musl glibc compatibility is enabled.
* Makefile changes to detect Alpine Linux and link in `libexecinfo`
* Changes to stop using glibc specific `__GNUC_PREREQ` macro
* Changes to genexe linking to link in `libexecinfo` if on Alpine
  or FreeBSD (this is likely also needed but untested)
* Changes to move Linux cpu affinity setting outside of thread
  creation function and into same set affinity function as for
  other platforms. This also includes enabling asio thread affinity
  setting for non-linux platforms.
* Rename `SCHED_BATCH` to `PONY_SCHED_BATCH` to avoid conflict with
  musl.
* Set `this_scheduler` thread-local variable to `NULL` on
  `ponyint_sched_init` to avoid segfault in running codegen test
  suite.

  ensure `libponyrt` never has assertions enabled.
