Could we provide a development docker image that is able to build out of box ?

[qingant]

it takes me a day to setup the build environment and it's still not working. Clickhouse provided a clickhouse/binary-builder docker images for ci/cd which would also help developer to setup an environment . Wondering if we could do that for chdb.

Hello @qingant this is a good initiative which could benefit community input and cooperation indeed!

As you know we only use GitHub actions to build chdb. The same environment used in the actions should work to build locally with docker. I think the clickhouse builder could possibly be used to build chdb with minor changes, but I never attempted to do so. Could you clarify more details about your build setup and issue?

thanks @lmangani
I tried with clickhouse/binary-builder, installed python3-pip, cmake, ninja-build. and run pip install -U pip setuptools -e .

then I got this:

      CMake Error at contrib/cyrus-sasl-cmake/CMakeLists.txt:79 (target_link_libraries):
        Target "_sasl2" links to:

          ch_contrib::krb5

@qingant alright, I'll try to sketch a dedicated chdb docker builder mimicking the action builder and post updates

@qingant the test builder seems to work fine. Could you check and confirm? https://github.com/lmangani/chdb-builder

The builder includes an image with all the dev requirements and a script to build chdb and the matching python wheel.
