Failed installing cylp using docker

[rguarnotta]

Hello.

I am trying to build a containerized service that relies on cbc / cvxpy / cylp. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to install to create an image that depends on these dependencies, the cylp install is failing. I have tried installing cylp from source as well as with pip, both ways lead to the same error.

Here is a simplified version of my DockerFile that focuses on the cylp installation.

FROM ubuntu

RUN apt-get update
RUN apt-get install -yqq git gcc g++ pkg-config libblas-dev liblapack-dev 
RUN apt-get install -yqq python3 python3-pip
RUN apt-get install -yqq coinor-cbc
ENV COIN_INSTALL_DIR /usr/

# Installing from pip.
RUN pip3 install cylp

# Installing from source.
# RUN git clone https://github.com/coin-or/CyLP
# WORKDIR CyLP
# RUN pip3 install .     <= same error installing from source

The error that I get is the following

#9 13.82       aarch64-linux-gnu-gcc -Wno-unused-result -Wsign-compare -DNDEBUG -g -fwrapv -O2 -Wall -g -fstack-protector-strong -Wformat -Werror=format-security -g -fwrapv -O2 -fPIC -I/usr/include/coin -I./cylp/cpp -I./cylp/cy -I/tmp/pip-build-env-uq769gc8/overlay/local/lib/python3.10/dist-packages/numpy/core/include -I. -I/usr/include/coin -I/usr/include/python3.10 -c cylp/cpp/IClpPrimalColumnPivotBase.cpp -o build/temp.linux-aarch64-3.10/cylp/cpp/IClpPrimalColumnPivotBase.o -w -std=c++11

Anyone with the same issue?

You need

sudo apt-get install  coinor-cbc coinor-libcbc-dev

in order to get the headers as well, if you are going to build from source (see the README of Cbc). Alternatively, you could just build Cbc also from source, which is easy and allows you to get the latest release. There is a docker file for building CyLP and Cbc from source here:

Perfect. It worked, thank you!
