Description

Hello, I am unable to build boost python on a Windows Docker image that has been built using this file:

Package and Environment Details

• Package Name/Version: boost/1.85.0
• Operating System+version: Windows Server LTSC 2022
• Compiler+version: msvc 17.11.5
• Docker image: Dockerfile prodived
• Conan version: conan 2.10.2
• Python version: Python 3.9.13

Conan profile

[settings]
arch={{detect_api.detect_arch()}}
build_type=Release
compiler=msvc
compiler.cppstd=17
compiler.runtime=dynamic
compiler.version=194
os=Windows

[conf]
{% if detect_api.detect_os() == "Windows" %}
	tools.env.virtualenv:powershell=True
	tools.cmake.cmaketoolchain:generator=Ninja Multi-Config
{% endif %}
tools.cmake.cmake_layout:build_folder_vars = ["settings.os", "settings.compiler", "settings.compiler.version", "settings.arch"]

Steps to reproduce

• First, build the image using the provided Dockerfile, placing the requirements.txt alongside:
  docker build -t msvc17-windowsservercore-ltsc2022 .
• On the host, install the profile in the conan cache to allow container to access it:
  cat profile.txt > $env:MySharedDrive\conan\profiles\msvc (create the necessary locations)
• Also on the host, add the conanfile.txt to the shared workspace: cat conanfile.txt > $env:MySharedDrive\conanfile.txt
• Run the container: docker run -it --rm -v $env:MySharedDrive\:C:\workspace -v $env:MySharedDrive\conan:C:\conan msvc17-windowsservercore-ltsc2022
• Inside the container run the install command: conan install -pr:a msvc conanfile.txt -r conancenter --build=missing
