cross-compilers
---------------
Dockerfiles for cross compiling in a Docker container.
Features
========
2016-07-04 04:20:01 +02:00
* Different toolchains for cross compiling.
* Commands in the container are run as the calling user, so that any created files have the expected ownership, (i.e. not root).
* Make variables (`CC`, `LD` etc) are set to point to the appropriate tools in the container.
* Recent cmake and ninja are precompiled. Toolchain files available for cmake.
* Current directory is mounted as the container's workdir, ``/build``.
* Works with boot2docker on OSX and Docker for Mac beta (1.11.1-beta12).
Installation
============
This image is not intended to be run manually. Instead, there is a helper script which comes bundled with the image.
To install the helper script, run one of the images with no arguments, and
redirect the output to a file::
docker run --rm CROSS_COMPILER_IMAGE_NAME > ./dockcross
chmod +x ./dockcross
mv ./dockcross ~/bin/
Usage
=====
For the impatient, here's a one-liner to compile a hello world for armv7::
docker run --rm thewtex/cross-compiler-linux-armv7 > ./dockcross-linux-armv7
chmod +x ./dockcross-linux-armv7
./dockcross-linux-armv7 bash -c '$CC test/C/hello.c -o hello_arm'
Note how invoking any toolchain command (make, gcc, etc...) is just a matter of prepending the **dockcross** script on the commandline::
dockcross-linux-armv7 [command] [args...]
The dockcross script will execute the given command-line inside the container,
along with all arguments passed after the command.
Alternatively, a special update command can be exected that will update the
source cross-compiler Docker image or the dockcross script itself.
Built-in update commands
========================
- ``dockcross [--] command [args...]``: Forces a command to run inside the container (in case of a name clash with a built-in command), use ``--`` before the command.
2016-07-04 04:20:01 +02:00
- ``dockcross update-image``: Fetch the latest version of the docker image.
- ``dockcross update-script``: Update the installed dockcross script with the one bundled in the image.
- ``dockcross update``: Update both the docker image, and the dockcross script.
Configuration
=============
The following command-line options and environment variables are used. In all cases, the command-line option overrides the environment variable.
DOCKCROSS_CONFIG / --config|-c <path-to-config-file>
2016-07-04 04:20:01 +02:00
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This file is sourced, if it exists, before executing the rest of the dockcross
script.
2016-07-04 04:20:01 +02:00
Default: ``~/.dockcross``
DOCKCROSS_IMAGE / --image|-i <docker-image-name>
2016-07-04 04:20:01 +02:00
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The docker cross-compiler image to run.
Default: image with which the script was created.
DOCKCROSS_ARGS / --args|-a <docker-run-args>
2016-07-04 04:20:01 +02:00
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Extra arguments to pass to the ``docker run`` command.
Examples
========
1. **dockcross make**: Build the Makefile in the current directory.
2. **dockcross cmake -Bbuild -H. -GNinja***: Run CMake with a build directory "build" for the CMakeLists.txt in the current directory and generate `ninja` files.
3. **dockcross ninja -Cbuild**: Run ninja in the generated build directory.
4. **dockcross bash -c 'find . -name \*.o | sort > objects.txt'**
2016-07-04 04:20:01 +02:00
Note that commands are executed verbatim. If you require any shell processing for environment variable expansion or redirection, please use ``bash -c 'command args...'``.
