Compilation Problem when Installing Python Package (grpio)

[sgerrand]

@nickpresta: I don't think that linking to the glibc header files will help with compiling the Python grpcio package. Compiling that package using muslc works, but ld throws an error during the final link stage.

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-alpine-linux-musl/6.3.0/../../../../x86_64-alpine-linux-musl/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

I'll have a further look into this issue today.

Hey @sgerrand

I hope things are going well with you. I just wanted to follow up and see if you had any time to take a look at this issue?

Thanks!

@nickpresta: Sorry that I haven't been able to help you with this issue. I'm not able to successfully compile the grpio Python package under Alpine Linux. The authors of that package have created it against a glibc based Linux distribution. In the interim, I suggest you port your Docker image over to use something like debian:stable-slim as the base image.
