Research direction

Start with the provided Dockerfile and the S3 example's build instructions, then reproduce the failure with make and inspect the CMake build configuration involved. Update the instructions to reflect a working build process, and verify that the S3 example builds successfully from the documented steps.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

The instructions say to use the provided Dockerfile to build the S3 example. However, it looks like something has changed as the build now fails:
