+# Building with musl libc
+
+This project now supports building with musl libc, which is commonly used in Alpine Linux. To build using musl:
+
+1. Use the provided Alpine-based Dockerfile:
+```bash
+docker build -f docker/Dockerfile.alpine -t snappy-java-alpine .
+```
+
+2. The build process will:
+- Use musl libc instead of glibc
+- Statically link required libraries
+- Create a native library compatible with Alpine/musl systems
+
+The resulting library will be placed in:
+`src/main/resources/org/xerial/snappy/native/Linux-musl/x86_64/libsnappyjava.so`
+
+## Testing
+To test the musl build:
+```bash
+docker run --rm snappy-java-alpine -cp target/snappy-java-*.jar org.xerial.snappy.SnappyLoader
+```
