Question on boost.py: Why runtime instructions only copies boost-binary? #460

As boost relies on zlib etc, which is by default a dynamic-build, why we don't need to copy the ospackages stuff?

samcmill commented 1 year ago

Yes, there probably should be a set of runtime ospackages that are installed. Besides zlib, is there anything else you've found that should be installed?

I do not run hpccm actually. I just got this question by inspecting the code. Seems that most of the building blocks do not copy the ospackages im the runtime call. Am I missing something？
