The problem here is that the ibmcom/swift-ubuntu:5.0.2 image is built on top of Ubuntu 14.04. The version of libmysqlclient-dev supplied with 14.04 does not include the pkg-config information that allows the Swift compiler to find the headers without help.

There are two solutions to this problem:

1: You could add -Xcc -I/usr/include/mysql/ arguments to the swift build command. Either:

• replace the command you are executing in the build container with swift build -Xcc -I/usr/include/mysql/, or
• if you'd like to keep using the tools-utils.sh script, you can create a file in your project called .swift-build-linux which contains a single line: swift build -Xcc -I/usr/include/mysql/ - this will be picked up by the tools-utils.sh script when it runs the build.

2: You can replace your base images with FROM swift:5.0.2 (for the build image) and FROM swift:5.0.2-slim (for the run image) - these are the official Swift-maintained images which are based on Ubuntu 18.04, and as of the Swift 5.0.2 release, provide a 'slim' image similar to ibmcom's 'runtime' image.

• Note that these images do not bundle the libssl-dev or libcurl4-openssl-dev dependencies, so you will need to include those in your Dockerfile-tools.
