Missing conan

[t413]

Running the default example there seems to be no conan utility installed. Running pip install conan as a prerequisite won't work directly because the install destination isn't writable, using pip install --user conan seems to install it in a black hole that can't be found (it's not put in ~/.local/bin).

I'm finding the same problem on dockcross so came here for a simpler setup to investigate. Any ideas?

I depend on boost to build, what is the most idiomatic way here? I can see conan, apt/yum, or building the source in the mounted directory as options.

both dockcross and dockbuild include a wrapper script named sudo (internally invoking gosu)

Running the following command complete ...

sudo pip install conan

Last issue is that the python installed in dockbuild (and by extension dockcross) doesn't have sqlite:

this is observed with at least the ubuntu1804 and centos7 images
