mediasoup: Build fails on Docker node:20-alpine

Bug Report

I am trying to build mediasoup on docker with an alpine node image, but this fails.

Very simple to reproduce, just init a node project and add mediasoup, like here: https://github.com/copiltembel/mediasoup-docker-alpine-not-building

Your environment

  • Operating system: Ubuntu 20.04
  • Node version: v20.9.0
  • npm version: 10.1.0
  • gcc/clang version: gcc version 12.2.1 20220924 (Alpine 12.2.1_git20220924-r10)
  • mediasoup version: 3.13.1
  • mediasoup-client version: n/a

Issue description

Running docker build . with a simple mediasoup node project on docker alpine leads to the build failing with this error:

../../../subprojects/flatbuffers-23.3.3/include/flatbuffers/util.h:228:39: error: 'strtoull_l' was not declared in this scope; did you mean 'strtoull'? (See full stack error in the above repo.)

Seems to be related to the flatbuffers update? Googling the error took me here: https://github.com/google/flatbuffers/issues/7265

I see now, thanks. So it must be a bug in flatbuffers since it should not define a macro only available in the library itself if later it uses it in a header file that the application includes (because such a macro is not defined in the application build system).

So tomorrow I’ll report it and, as a temporary workaround, I’ll define the same macro in mediasoup meson.build file.
