Compiling UDF functions on MySQL containers

[Mathieu Dubois]

Dear all,

We are investigating the use of MySQL containers to deploy our applications.

However, we need to compile & install a bunch of UDF functions on the server.

I have tried to that inside the container (from image mysql/mysql-server:5.7) but if I am correct, the headers are not installed (mysql_config says that they should be in /usr/include/mysql but they are not) and there is no compiler too.

What can I do from here ? Installing the compiler should not be too difficult but how can I install the development headers ?

Thanks in advance,
Mathieu
