Could not compile cgit-pink in alpine

Hi,

I tried to build cgit-pink in Alpine linux but it could not build, giving the error message
~/cgit-pink-1.4.1 # make
SUBDIR git
CC ../cgit.o
In file included from ../cgit.h:5,
from ../cgit.c:9:
./git-compat-util.h:1218:2: error: #error "Git requires REG_STARTEND support. Compile with NO_REGEX=NeedsStartEnd"

This is executed in an environment specified by (the 1.4.1 tarball has to be in the same folder)

FROM alpine:latest

ARG CGIT_PINK_VERSION=1.4.1

RUN apk add --no-cache --purge -uU \
make curl gcc \
libc-dev openssl-dev zlib-dev gettext-dev

WORKDIR /root/
ADD cgit-pink-$CGIT_PINK_VERSION.tar.gz .

How can I fix this issue?

Thanks,

I just randomly found this question, if it's still relevant:

Append "NO_REGEX = NeedsStartEnd" to cgit.conf, this is required on musl.
