Neil Conway created MESOS-5540:
----------------------------------
Summary: Consider supporting building with non-GNU libc
Key: MESOS-5540
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5540
Project: Mesos
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: general
Reporter: Neil Conway
Some Linux distributions don't use glibc -- e.g., Alpine Linux uses musl. Mesos
currently fails to compile using musl for at least the following two reasons:
1. {{linux/fs.hpp}} includes {{fstab.h}}, which isn't provided by musl.
2. various places use {{fts.h}}, which isn't provided by musl
For (1), it seems this functionality is only needed by {{FsTest.
FileSystemTableRead}}, so I think it can be safely removed.
For (2), there are standalone implementations of the FTS functions, e.g.,
https://github.com/pullmoll/musl-fts/ . We could either vendor such an
implementation or require the user to install an FTS implementation as a
library (e.g., https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/main/x86_64/fts). If
we do the latter, we'd need to be prepared to link against {{libfts.a}} if
needed.
