Cannot install mongodb-client-encryption npm dependency on Alpine

    • Type: Icon: Improvement Improvement
    • Resolution: Unresolved
    • Priority: Icon: Unknown Unknown
    • None
    • Affects Version/s: None
    • Component/s: None
    • None

      How to reproduce: on clean Alpine Edge x86_64 system, install `nodejs`, `npm`, `python3`, `gcc`, `g++`, `make` and `krb5-dev` packages (all are needed to build other mongodb node packages, and at least some of them needed to build `mongodb-client-encryption`).

      Then, in a fresh clean directory, do `npm init` and `npm add mongodb-client-encryption`.

      Expected result: everything installs without any errors.

      Actual result:

      ```

      Additional notes: in `node_modules/mongodb-client-encryption/addon`, `mongocrypt.cc` does `#include "mongocrypt.h"`; `mongocrypt.h` does `#include <mongocrypt/mongocrypt.h>`. There is no `mongocrypt/mongocrypt.h` on my system. Perhaps I should install `libmongocrypt` dev package somehow first, but package readme https://www.npmjs.com/package/mongodb-client-encryption does not mention any prerequisites, and there are no `mongocrypt` files in any packages in Alpine repository.

      Trying to find online how to install libmongocrypt produces the link to https://www.mongodb.com/docs/manual/core/queryable-encryption/reference/libmongocrypt/ , but this makes it seem that Alpine is not supported by libmongocrypt. Yet the npm package readme does not mention that.

      The npm package readme does mention that for development (not for ordinary use) one is supposed to run the following command: `bash ./etc/build-static.sh`. Yet there is no `etc` directory in npm package; and in `node-v6.0.0` branch of `libmongocrypt` github repository, there is no `build-static.sh` in `etc` directory.
