Compilation fails for Ubuntu 22.04 for static OpenCV build

[B-Acharya]

Hey,

I’m trying to compile OpenCV from source. I used the following GitHub Actions workflow as a reference to adapt my build setup:
https://github.com/spoorn/media-to-ascii/blob/a01017fbb3dc883a89b0a1aff237c69b072542b2/.github/workflows/build.yml

My end goal is to run a Rust application that uses opencv-rust. However, I don’t have sudo access on the server, so I intended to build everything from source. That led to a chain of other dependencies also needing to be compiled manually.

To work around this, I switched to creating a Docker container where I could compile the software (with static build) more freely and then transfer the binaries to the server. Unfortunately, the build failed within the Docker container as well, even though I followed a similar approach and used the same source build method from the link above.
os: Ubuntu 22.04

At the moment, I'm encountering the following error:

Here's a short version :

Any hints on what might be going wrong or what could be updated would be greatly appreciated!

This particular error message indicates that you most probably don't have static libs for libz compression library and Intel IPP. It's difficult to say what exactly is missing on your system, but be sure to build your static OpenCV with at least -D BUILD_ZLIB=ON and -D OPENCV_FORCE_3RDPARTY_BUILD=ON or you can try disabling Intel IPP with -D WITH_IPP=OFF.

Thank you for your response.
I tried to understand the build process and I am somehow lost. Below Is the dockerfile that I use to create an Image to build opencv-rust. Opencv does compile but the rust application fails to build and is mainly dependancy errors, that it cannot find certain libraries.
Maybe I should set the OPENCV_LINK_PATHS to something else below to make it run ?
The easy solution would be to install all the libraries that are specified in install.sh, but would it then be portable ? I finally want to copy the binaries and run it on another linux machine without dependencies.

Update managed to build it by installing the respective packages. Thanks again for the first response it did help :)
