Problem with updating Git Submodules in Docker container

I’m creating a new thread for this since I thought it might need it.

Just a bit ago, when trying to build my Dockerfile project, I ran into this problem:

Step 16/24 : RUN git clone GitHub - jinja2cpp/Jinja2Cpp: Jinja2 C++ (and for C++) almost full-conformance template engine implementation && cd jinja2cpp && git pull && git submodule -q update --init && mkdir build && cd build && cmake … -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=…/install -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH:PATH=/usr/local/include -DBOOST_ROOT=/usr/local/include && cmake --build . --target all --config Release && cmake --build . --target install --config Release

Anyone have any idea how to fix this?

I’m using Docker Toolbox version 18.03.0-ce, build 0520e24302. OS is Windows 10 Home Single Language, version 1803 build 17134.345. My code is on GitHub here. The one inside the directory with the Dockerfile has a difference compared to the one on GitHub, but it’s mostly the same. The difference is: in the scripts.js file, the POST action value for the form is https://dragonscurrencyconv.herokuapp.com (because I want to deploy the Docker image to Heroku at that address – address won’t work at the moment, though, since the app hasn’t been deployed to Heroku yet).

[Why did the “EXPOSE 8080” and “ENV” parts get mixed into the compilation command? I don’t have it like that in the Dockerfile.]

Edit: Okay, I think I figured it out. I was counting the number of steps in the Dockerfile earlier by typing in numbers, but I forgot to take out the “13” at the end of the ENV command for adding CMake to the PATH. I wasn’t able to get it to change the file permissions on those files either, but I should be able to that when building the container as root user and then running it as a normal user (should work for this app).
