How to package C++ application along with its all dependencies for deployment using docker

I have a C++ application which depends on several other third party projects which I clone and build from source. I wanted to now deploy this application as a docker container. Consider following directory structure

workspace├── dependency-project-1|   ├── lib|   ├── build|   ├── include|   ├── src|   └── Thirdparty|      ├── sub-dependency-project-1|      |  ├── lib|      |  ├── build|      |  ├── include|      |  ├── src|      |  └── CMakeLists.txt|      └── sub-dependency-project-N├── dependency-project-N (with similar structure as dependency-project-1)└── main-project (with similar structure as dependency-project-1 and depedent on dependency projects above)

Those build and lib folders are created when I built those projects with cmake and make. I used to run app from workspace/main-project/build/MyApp

For deployment, I felt that I will create two stage dockerfile. In one stage I will build all the projects and in second stage I will only copy build folder from first stage. The build was successful. But while running the app from the container, it gave following error:

./MyApp: error while loading shared libraries: dependency-project-1.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

This .so file was in workspace/dependency-project-1/lib folder which I did not copy in second stage of dockerfile.

Now I am thinking how can gather all build artefacts (build, lib and all other build output from all dependency projects and their sub-dependency projects) into one location and then copy them to final image in the second stage of the dockerfile.

I tried to run make DESTDIR=/workspace/install install inside workspace/main-project/build in the hope that it will gather all the dependencies in the /workspace/install folder. But it does not seem to have done that. I could not find MyApp in this directory.

What is standard solution to this scenarion?
