Additionnal context

Hello 👋,

I am trying to compile libheif in a Docker container using the node:lts-alpine image, but I am encountering an issue during the installation of gettext. To reproduce the bug, you can use the following Dockerfile:

FROM node:lts-alpine

ENV VCPKG_FORCE_SYSTEM_BINARIES 1
RUN apk --no-cache add \
    g++ \
    gcc \
    git \
    zip \
    tar \
    wget \
    nasm \
    cmake \
    make \
    unzip \
    ninja \
    bison \
    libgcc \
    python3 \
    libstdc++ \
    libc-dev \
    linux-headers \
    build-base \
    curl && \
    ln -sf python3 /usr/bin/python

RUN git clone https://github.com/microsoft/vcpkg.git && \
    ./vcpkg/bootstrap-vcpkg.sh && \
    ./vcpkg/vcpkg install gettext-libintl:x64-linux

Thanks.

Please install libc as below:

Please use "sudo apt-get install libc-dev" or the
  equivalent to install development files.

Hello @LilyWangLL,

Thank you for the feedback, but I cannot use apt-get because I am using an Alpine Linux container. In my Dockerfile, I have already included an apk add libc-dev.

I am using an Alpine Linux

IIRC Alpine uses musl libc, not glibc, and that libc doesn't include intl capabilities. There should be separate packages providing gettext libintl.

Hello, I resolved the issue by indeed adding additional packages. I'm sharing my Dockerfile here in case it helps.

Thank you.

So the Alpine package name is: gettext-dev.
