Sorry, I think I was too quick to respond there. To the degree possible, it makes sense to me that one would try to depend on DSO packages provided by OS packaging systems. For non-Linux systems, that might mean requiring a third-party packaging system like Homebrew (macOS) or Chocolatey (Windows).

The trick will be how to add such dependencies to a Docker container at runtime.

Best,

David
