Running HHVM in Alpine linux

Question

I've been trying to install HHVM (Hack) on Alpine linux to no success. Has anyone compiled HHVM on linux?

Any help would be welcome.

Answer 1

Up to now, there's no HHVM on Alpine yet.

There's an open request in the bug tracker, though:

http://bugs.alpinelinux.org/issues/4503

maybe you did this request :)

You can monitor the website to see if there are update, or check possibile pull requests from here:

https://github.com/alpinelinux/aports/pulls

Hope it helps.

FROM alpine:3.7
RUN apk add --no-cache build-base git cmake patch curl-dev findutils libxml2-dev icu-dev bash libevent libevent-dev curl
RUN git clone git://github.com/facebook/hhvm.git
RUN cd hhvm
WORKDIR hhvm
RUN git submodule update --init --recursive

ENV GYP_DEFINES "linux_use_bundled_binutils=0 linux_use_bundled_gold=0 clang=0"
RUN cmake -DMYSQL_UNIX_SOCK_ADDR=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock .
RUN make -j [number_of_processor_cores] # eg. make -j 4
RUN make install

Got stuck here: -- Can't find minimal tcmalloc ERROR: Unable to find Intel TBB install directory. CMake Error at CMake/HPHPFindLibs.cmake:266 (if): if given arguments:

"LESS" "5005"

Unknown arguments specified Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:106 (include)

CMake Error: The following variables are used in this project, but they are set to NOTFOUND. Please set them or make sure they are set and tested correctly in the CMake files: LIBGLOG_INCLUDE_DIR (ADVANCED) used as include directory in directory /hhvm used as include directory in directory /hhvm

Would get you going at least halfway.

If you look at this page Building HHVM from source, it requires "GCC 5 or GCC 7". The first step would have to be `apk add --update build-base' or have a look here: How to get regular stuff working. buid-base contains "GCC, libc-dev and binutils packages" etc.
