Add solc binary to truffle container to speed up compiles

[chatch]

At least with version 2 of truffle it would use solc (C++) if it found it on the PATH and the compile was much faster this way then using solc-js. I'm finding compiles taking quite a long time now.

I'll try this out with truffle 3 and see if it's the same.

Made a start on trying this out adding solc to the dockerfile but fails on boost and llibstdc+6 version ..

The following packages have unmet dependencies: solc : Depends: libboost-filesystem1.58.0 but it is not installable Depends: libboost-program-options1.58.0 but it is not installable Depends: libboost-system1.58.0 but it is not installable Depends: libstdc++6 (>= 5.2) but 4.9.2-10 is to be installed

Take a look at other solc images .. Dockerfile.patch.txt

I wonder if there's a way we can use the solc container instead of adding solc directly to the truffle container

Docker in Docker container? eg. https://github.com/docker-library/docker/blob/bf822e2b9b4f755156b825444562c9865f22557f/17.03/dind/Dockerfile hmm... gets a bit silly somehow ..

i'll try install solc inside truffle container and see how it looks anyway

Ah, yes, that thing that I've been warned against before... "don't try to run docker inside docker"
