Docker build fails during pandas compilation with 'ninja: build stopped'

Build Failure with GPU Support on Windows 11 (RTX 5060)

Hello,

I'm trying to build the Docker image with GPU support on Windows 11 using Docker Desktop (WSL 2 backend).
My goal is to use my NVIDIA RTX 5060 GPU.

---

Environment

• OS: Windows 11
• Docker: Docker Desktop
• GPU: NVIDIA RTX 5060
• CUDA Driver Version: 581.42

---

Command Used

docker build -t athomasson2/ebook2audiobook . --build-arg TORCH_VERSION=cuda128

---

Problem Description

The build process fails during the pip install step for the project's requirements.
The error occurs while compiling C objects for the pandas library, leading to a
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed error.

This subsequently causes pip to fail with metadata-generation-failed and stops the Docker build.

Relevant Log Output

[82/151] Compiling C object pandas/_libs/join.cpython-312-x86_64-linux-gnu.so.p/meson-generated_pandas__libs_join.pyx.c.o
ninja: build stopped: subcommand failed.
[end of output]

note: This error originates from a subprocess, and is likely not a problem with pip.
error: metadata-generation-failed

× Encountered error while generating package metadata.
╰─> See above for output.

note: This is an issue with the package mentioned above, not pip.

------
Dockerfile:43
...
ERROR: failed to solve: process "/bin/sh -c if [ ! -z \"$TORCH_VERSION\" ]; then ... pip install --no-cache-dir --upgrade -r requirements_no_torch.txt; ... else ... fi" did not complete successfully: exit code: 1

Could you please advise on a fix?
Perhaps the Dockerfile needs to be updated to include these build dependencies.

Thanks!

seems you don't have the right ninja/pandas libraries to compile or some are missing

thanks to retry with last git or v26.1.16
