qbittorrent-nox-static: boost build python version error

Hi, awesome scripts you’ve built, I’m trying to use them to build an alpine based qbittorrent container with a statically compilled binary. I am using this dockerfile (alpine 3.11 with the following build commands:

RUN apk add --no-cache \
    wget \
    curl \
    bash \
    bash-completion \
    build-base \
    pkgconf \
    autoconf \
    automake \
    libtool \
    git \
    perl \
    python3 \
    python3-dev \
    linux-headers 

# get qBittorrent compilation script
ADD https://git.io/JvLcZ qbittorrent-nox-static-musl.sh 

RUN chmod 700 qbittorrent-nox-static-musl.sh 

RUN ./qbittorrent-nox-static-musl.sh all --no-delete

but I’m struggling to get boost to build, I get this error :

Then you should use the all switch per build and not skip any modules.

this error does not occur in a non docker setup and i could not replicate it as a issue with the script.

It appears to possibly be a environment issue with how python is detected and passed to boost.

#14 974.2 error: "3.8" is not a known value of feature <python>

Regarding this file generation command:

As to why, i cannot say. maybe try without --no-delete
