Docker build fails: GCC missing about yggdrasil-go

[neilalexander]

I guess the crux of this issue is:

exec: "gcc": executable file not found in $PATH

GCC is not present?

[jcgruenhage]

Yeah, since when do we need gcc though?

[neilalexander]

I suspect this is related to golang/go#26988 somehow - we are using Go 1.11 modules now, so it looks like the problem is potentially in linking against the native network stack.

Potential solution appears to be specifying CGO_ENABLED=0 at build time.

I can make tests and create PR to develop before next release gets pulled from develop branch

Is it environment variable?

[neilalexander]

Yes - something like CGO_ENABLED=0 ./build should do the trick.

Build OK, network NOT with that change because my laptop network went down for some reason. Try again if still goes I'm going to try installing gcc and compare results 😄 Don't know command that I can use to check network traffic during test

[jcgruenhage]

If we compile it with cgo, we don't get proper static binaries though, they'll have c libraries as dependencies.

[cwchristerw]

Now it works but will have to test few minutes though

@jcgruenhage

Right - so we have more flags we can give to build as per #235. Also see #244 on really static.
