fatal error: vips/vips.h: No such file or directory

[beansinc]

I tried to build a static binary using musl so it can be run in alphine:

CC=musl-gcc CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -a -ldflags '-linkmode external -extldflags "-static"' -o gowebserver main.go
# github.com/h2non/bimg
../../go/pkg/mod/github.com/h2non/bimg@v1.1.9/metadata.go:5:10: fatal error: vips/vips.h: No such file or directory
    5 | #include "vips/vips.h"
      |          ^~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.

I also attempted with gcc:

CC=gcc CGO_ENABLED=1 go build -a -ldflags '-linkmode external -extldflags "-static"' -o gowebserver main.go
# command-line-arguments
/usr/local/go/pkg/tool/linux_amd64/link: running gcc failed: exit status 1

Building a normal binary works fine, but it doesn't suit my usecase: go build -o gowebserver main.go
My final goal is to run this go binary inside a docker alpine container.
