Summary

Static compilation fails on the boost library. ./configure COMPILED_BY="Docker" --prefix=/installdir --enable-static

POV-Ray Version

• Incarnation: POV-Ray for Unix
• Affected build version: v3.7.0.10 (commit: cd074e4d2698b3faa5b157c6b05c5f3ad432fddc, branch: latest-stable)
• Known working build version: ??

Runtime Environment

• Operating system: alpine linux, docker, latest
• Hardware architecture: Docker
• CPU model: N/A

Steps to Reproduce

Store the following as a Dockerfile

FROM alpine:latest as BUILD RUN apk add build-base git autoconf automake boost-dev libpng-dev tiff-dev openexr-dev RUN git clone -b latest-stable --single-branch --depth 1 https://github.com/POV-Ray/povray.git WORKDIR /povray RUN cd unix &&
./prebuild.sh
RUN ./configure COMPILED_BY="Docker" --prefix=/installdir --enable-static`

Command Line

Docker build .

Expected Behavior

Make-command should successfully compile a binary

Actual Behavior

Compilation fails

Suggested Solution

Checking if the library exists should be done differently for boost, as static linking of a .hpp is not dependent on a .so or .a-file.
