Neil Conway updated MESOS-5540:
-------------------------------
Priority: Minor (was: Major)
> 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
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: mesosphere
>
> 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.
