I have a docker image running on the Alpine distro and in order to get one of my requiements to work - pocketsphinx==0.1.15, I have to install a few dependencies inside my DockerFile:
FROM python:3.7-alpine
RUN apk update && \
apk add --virtual build-deps gcc musl-dev && \
apk add --no-cache postgresql-dev && \
apk add ffmpeg && \
apk add swig && \
apk add libasound2-dev && \
rm -rf /var/cache/apk/*
Luckily, ffmpeg and swig are both available in the Alpine package repository, but libasound2-dev unfortunately is not. I'm trying to avoid having to move from the Alpine distro to Ubuntu but am not sure if it's even possible to install libasound2-dev on an Alpine image. Is there a way to achieve this? Thank you!
Sometimes the packages have different names between distros. In your case the package that provides those header files is alsa-lib-dev.
You can check by yourself by comparing the package contents on their site.
