[Quantlib-users] Building and installing QuantLib on Docker with aarch64 (Apple silicon)

[Marius R. <mar...@fi...>]

Hey everybody,

I’m trying to get a working docker image to finally run some Python code which uses QuantLib.

Dockerfile:

```
FROM python:slim

RUN apt-get update \
    && apt-get install -y \
    curl \
    build-essential \
    libboost-all-dev \
    cmake \
    ninja-build

RUN curl -L https://github.com/lballabio/QuantLib/releases/download/QuantLib-v1.30/QuantLib-1.30.tar.gz --output QuantLib-1.30.tar.gz \
    && tar xzf QuantLib-1.30.tar.gz \
    && rm QuantLib-1.30.tar.gz 
```

then I just run an instance and continue manually (to run have a faster trial and error loop)

docker build --ssh default . -f Dockerfile -t foo

and 

docker run -it --rm foo bash

inside the container I do the following:

cd QuantLib-1.30/build
cmake .. -G Ninja -D CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
ninja
ninja install

Now, at `ninja install` I run into the following issue, and it seems I can’t find anything useful in the internetz.

cd /QuantLib-1.30/build && /usr/bin/cmake -P cmake_install.cmake

Can someone point me into the right direction?

Disclaimer: I actually work at this from a ops perspective and I don’t really know what QuantLib is doing or any other details about it :)

Thx in advance and have a nice day,
Marius
