Aerospike alpine installation failure

[anuragagarwal561994]

The library fails to install on alpine images.

Steps followed:

apk add --no-cache build-base openssl-dev zlib-dev
pip install aerospike

src/main/client/set_xdr_filter.c: In function 'AerospikeClient_SetXDRFilter':
      src/main/client/set_xdr_filter.c:119:2: error: unknown type name 'uint'; did you mean 'int'?
        119 |  uint request_length = strlen(fmt_str) + strlen(data_center_str_p) +
            |  ^~~~
            |  int
      error: command '/usr/bin/gcc' failed with exit code 1
      [end of output]

uint is not recognised by gcc in alpine linux

[anuragagarwal561994]

I compiled from source by adding

typedef unsigned int uint;

in the set_xdr_filter.c file and the build compiled successfully.

If this is the correct solution to go ahead I can submit an MR to make aerospike builds alpine compatible.

[anuragagarwal561994]

@dwelch-spike can you look into this, this seems like a simple fix and it provides great abilities to use alpine as base image.

I can submit the MR for the same.
