Images with build-essential for packages with binary dependencies
jpfairbanks opened this issue · comments
Does it make sense to ship a version of these docker images with build-essential so that things with binary dependencies have a compiler and such?
Pros:
- Pkg.add works with some binary dependencies out of the box
Cons:
- Larger image sizes than strictly necessary
- All you save is "run(`apt update` & `apt install build-essential`)"
I believe the need for a compiler in the image is much reduced for the most recent versions of Julia (v1.3+).
Oops, sorry for leaving this one for so long! Glad it's ~resolved itself reasonably, however. 😅 👍
