pip install from custom whl file in Dockerfile

I have a Dockerfile which is trying to install a whl file which is located in my project using pip. I want to force pip to include my whl file in its searches, but it doesn't:

No distributions matching the version for mylibname==mylibversion

I tried using build_ext with options -L:

pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-L/directory/containing/whl/file/"

-I:

pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-I/directory/containing/whl/file/"

and -b:

pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-b/directory/containing/whl/file/"

But none of them worked.

EDIT 1:

This is my Dockerfile:

FROM python:2.7.9MAINTAINER Zeinab AbbasimazarADD myprojectdir .RUN ls -la ${HOME}/myprojectdir/dependencyRUN pip --versionRUN pip install --global-option=build_ext --global-option="-L${HOME}/myprojectdir/dependency" mypackagename-mypackageversionWORKDIR .CMD python --version

This is the output of docker build -t myimagename .:

EDIT2:

The pip install /path/to/the/whl/file.whl completely works; but it's not what I want.
