It looks like we are going to get upstream support for musl from TeX live. There is this extremely long thread on the tlbuild mailing list. https://tug.org/pipermail/tlbuild/2018q1/003972.html
An automated build on Alpine Linux has been included in the TeX live continuous integration on GitHub. https://github.com/TeX-Live/texlive-source/blob/master/.travis.yml What would I have to do in order to get an automated build for ConTeXt standalone for musl? Hans might be interested in detecting musl libc automatically, which I have recently merged into GNU autotools: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/config.git/commit/?id=3d00f60242f1726fc6eaa38e09435a969ee7ebe5 It uses ldd to detect whether musl is used because ldd prints "musl libc" to stderr. https://git.musl-libc.org/cgit/musl/tree/ldso/dynlink.c#n1538 On Fri, 2018-01-19 at 12:22 +0100, Mojca Miklavec wrote: > On 19 January 2018 at 11:40, Henri Menke wrote: > > > > Dear list, > > > > I'd like to support Linux platforms which use musl (https://www.musl-libc.or > > g/) instead of glibc, like for instance Alpine Linux. > > > > How would I go about this?
