Yes, doing it in containers is a little bit tricky since it's not exactly the design case. Honestly, on my Silverblue systems, I just install a bunch of relevant dependencies into the system image with rpm-ostree, and have a pile of self-built dependencies in a local prefix. This might give you some insight however: https://github.com/containers/toolbox/issues/992 It probably needs some minor changes in Weston but does at least seem doable ... Cheers, Daniel
