Creating docker image fails from building mathutils

jemanik

Hello there,

I have a problem when creating a docker image especially from building the mathutils library.
As far as I know mathutils is required for ifcopenshell.util.shape_builder.ShapeBuilder() class.

When I run this DockerFile:
FROM python:3.10-slim-buster
WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

The error is:
Running setup.py install for mathutils: finished with status 'error'
error: subprocess-exited-with-error
× Running setup.py install for mathutils did not run successfully.
error: command 'gcc' failed: No such file or directory
note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: legacy-install-failure
× Encountered error while trying to install package.
╰─> mathutils

When running the DockerFile with these changes:
FROM python:3.10-slim-buster
WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y gcc
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt

I get this error:
import ifcopenshell
File "/usr/local/lib/python3.10/site-packages/ifcopenshell/init.py", line 69, in
raise ImportError("IfcOpenShell not built for '%s'" % python_distribution)
ImportError: IfcOpenShell not built for 'linux/64bit/python3.10'

Could someone help me out?
Maybe ifcopenshell requires another base image that I am not aware of?
ifcopenshell is mentioned in requirements.txt with ifcopenshell==0.7.0.230523

Any help would be more then appreciated!

Have you investigated the official Docker installation instructions here https://blenderbim.org/docs-python/ifcopenshell-python/installation.html#docker

And then perhaps modify it to include mathutils?

Setting up the docker file like this seems to work:

FROM python:3.11-slim-bullseye 
WORKDIR /app
COPY . /app
RUN apt-get update && apt-get install -y gcc
RUN pip install -r requirements.txt
EXPOSE 8000
CMD ["python", "main.py"]
