Error: Unsupported OS Alpine Linux

[xsteadfastx]

I try to get a alpine linux package for this wonderful tool i'am daily depend on :)

its compiling just fine but when i try to run it i get a blank screen and after doing a CTRL+c i get the error message: Error: Unsupported OS Alpine Linux. any ideas to bring this to alpine linux?

here is my APKBUILD file with the build commands i used:

Hey! I'm attempting to add support for Alpine now. Unfortunately the ping that ships with it by default doesn't support receiving timeout notifications (i.e if there's a timeout there just isn't any output message), which is really sucky.

Otherwise it looks pretty simple. I'm not familiar with Alpine (or MUSL in general), but attempting to run cargo build on the project in an Alpine container results in a failure to build a dependency (see rust-lang/rust#40174). Did you do any other magic to get this to compile? According to the above you're also just running cargo build which confuses me.

Ahh, silly me. I needed to run apk add musl-dev. I should have Alpine support released soon 👍

the `ping` that comes with alpine is that that ships with busybox. i could easily depend gping in alpine for the ping that ships with `iputils` (https://github.com/iputils/iputils/). maybe that helps!

Should be fixed in the latest release! I now fall back to detecting the ping version rather than the OS
