📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe project adds shared CMake dependency resolution, installs the resolver with package exports, and supports Alpine Linux builds. Alpine CI builds without vcpkg, starts a verified MinIO release, and runs tests against it. ChangesAlpine dependency support
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The fallback build path may produce an installed package that fails for consumers without vcpkg or network access because the curlpp target is not loaded before the main library target is imported. This should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

In @.github/workflows/ci.yml:
- Around line 222-223: Replace the fixed sleep after starting MinIO with bounded
readiness polling for 127.0.0.1:9000, checking that the background server
process is still running on each attempt. Continue only when the endpoint
becomes available; fail the workflow when the timeout expires or the MinIO
process exits.
- Line 206: Update the CI job’s container image reference from the mutable
alpine:3.20 tag to a reviewed immutable Alpine manifest digest, while preserving
the existing Alpine version and workflow behavior.
- Line 212: Update the workflow’s actions/checkout step to pin the action to the
specified v4 commit and set persist-credentials to false before
repository-controlled build and test commands.
- Around line 219-220: Update the MinIO download step in the CI workflow to use
a versioned release URL instead of the mutable latest-release URL, then verify
the downloaded binary against its published SHA-256 digest before chmod and
execution. Keep the existing download flow and ensure verification fails the job
on a digest mismatch.
In `@cmake/miniocpp-deps.cmake`:
- Around line 35-41: Replace the FetchContent-based miniocpp_curlpp fallback
with a mechanism compatible with the project’s CMake 3.10 minimum, avoiding both
include(FetchContent) and FetchContent_MakeAvailable. Preserve the pinned curlpp
repository and commit, the CURLPP_BUILD_SHARED_LIBS setting, and the existing
dependency availability behavior.
- Around line 61-64: Update the miniocpp_inih FetchContent_Declare block to pin
inih to commit 5cc5e2c24642513aaa5b19126aad42d0e4e0923e instead of r58, and
raise the project’s minimum CMake requirement to a version supporting
FetchContent_MakeAvailable, or otherwise provide a compatible fallback for the
existing 3.10 floor.
In `@README.md`:
- Around line 133-139: Update the “Building on Alpine Linux (musl)” section to
state that vcpkg itself can run on Alpine, but its default setup may download
glibc-linked tools such as CMake; retain the existing explanation of pkg-config
and source-fetch fallbacks.

- Line 207: Update the CI job’s container image from Alpine 3.20 to supported

coverage.

vcpkg's default setup downloads glibc-linked tools such as CMake, which do not run on musl, and Alpine ships no packages for curlpp or the C++ INIReader (fixes minio#213). Dependency resolution moves to cmake/miniocpp-deps.cmake, shared with the installed miniocpp-config.cmake. Each dependency resolves as: vcpkg CONFIG package, then pkg-config, then upstream source cloned at configure time with plain git (CMake 3.10-compatible, no FetchContent) -- curlpp pinned to a master commit that needs no patches, inih pinned to its r58 commit. The source-built deps are installed into an export set, and the consumer config re-applies the link interface, reusing the installed miniocpp::miniocpp_inih instead of re-fetching. CMP0091 is guarded so the CMake 3.10 floor holds. Also adds an Alpine CI job (image and MinIO binary pinned by digest / checksum, readiness polling) and README build instructions. Library code is untouched; vcpkg builds resolve the same libraries as before.

Inline comments:
In `@cmake/miniocpp-deps.cmake`:
- Around line 38-53: Update the dependency setup in cmake/miniocpp-deps.cmake at
lines 38-53 and 80-95: after any cached curlpp or inih checkout is available,
verify or reset it to the pinned commits
ec1b66e699557cd9d608d322c013a1ebda16bd08 and
5cc5e2c24642513aaa5b19126aad42d0e4e0923e respectively, rather than checking out
only after cloning. Preserve failure handling for unsuccessful checkout or
verification operations.
- Around line 55-56: Update the curlpp dependency used by the source fallback
around MINIO_CPP_CURLPP_SRC so its CMakeLists.txt supports the project’s CMake
3.10 minimum, while preserving the existing add_subdirectory flow. If retaining
the pinned revision requires a newer CMake, instead raise the project minimum
and update the corresponding documentation consistently.
In `@CMakeLists.txt`:
- Around line 94-100: Update the resolver description comment near the inclusion
of miniocpp-deps.cmake to replace “FetchContent” with “upstream source,”
matching the git clone and add_subdirectory implementation without changing the
dependency logic.
Apply the same fix in @.github/workflows/ci.yml around lines 201 - 203: The CI
comment uses the same inaccurate FetchContent terminology.
In `@miniocpp-config.cmake.in`:
- Line 10: Replace the target_link_libraries call for the imported target
miniocpp::miniocpp with set_property to append MINIO_CPP_DEPS_LINK_LIBS to its
INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES, preserving compatibility with CMake 3.10.

Fixes #213 — the reporter wants to build and run minio-cpp in an Alpine Linux Docker image: "Alpine uses musl libc while vcpkg's prebuilt CMake requires glibc — they are incompatible." On top of that, Alpine ships no packages for curlpp or the C++ INIReader, so those two must be resolved without vcpkg.
What changes
Dependency resolution moves into
cmake/miniocpp-deps.cmake(shared by the top-level CMakeLists and the installedminiocpp-config.cmake). Each dependency now resolves in order:ec1b66e) that needs no patches: theCURLOPT_CLOSEPOLICYtypedef was removed upstream (the constant was dropped in curl 8.10) and the build publishes target-based include dirs; the staticcurlpp_statictarget keepsBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=OFFbuilds workingINIReader.h)Export/interface handling
install(EXPORT miniocpp-targets)validates that every target referenced by the link interface is itself in an export set. On the source-built fallback path the dependency targets are real (not imported) targets, so:INTERFACE_LINK_LIBRARIES(EXPORT_LINK_INTERFACE_LIBRARIESdropped);miniocpp-config.cmakere-appliesMINIO_CPP_DEPS_LINK_LIBSafter including the export, so consumers get the same transitive interface either way;miniocpp_inih) are installed into the export set so generation succeeds; curlpp exports itself through its own install rules.Also adds an Alpine CI job and README build instructions. No library source is touched; for vcpkg builds the resolved link libraries are the same list as before.
