Docker image build failing pip install on windows

[Mario1159]

Building the image fails on pip install building the ILP Solver Interface without printing a detailed error.
I am currently building the image like this on master branch:

ALIGN-public> docker build -t align -f .\docker\dockerfile .

Also tried doing pip install locally (outside the docker image) without luck.
Building the ILP Solver Interface manually from its own repository works ok.

ILPSolverInterface> cmake -B build .
ILPSolverInterface> cmake --build build

Log of the error section, this should be reproducible building the image though not sure why the workflow build pass.

I will try to reproduce this error. Is there any particular reason you are building the image and not using the one on docker hub?

I was able to build the image fine on my system running Debian 12:

 => exporting to image

Can you let me know the platform you are trying to build the image on?

[Mario1159]

That is crazy strange, it indeed works building on linux, but not in windows.
The reason I was trying to build the docker image was just to test in a contained environment the pip install that wasn't working. I am currently trying to call the schematic2layout tool directly from python instead of using the docker image.
I don't know very well how docker works in the back, but if I had to take a guess maybe the problem was trying to link the linux precompiled libraries from the ILP interface in a docker container executed from windows.
Knowing that works in linux solves the issue for me by now, but maybe I can try later to do a install with a compiled from source version of the interface.

I will check the docker build on Windows and get back. Also, I plan to simplify the ILP solver interface by pre-building it. That will simplify the build process eventually.
