What is the difference between `dockcross` and `dockbuild` ?
------------------------------------------------------------
The key difference is that `dockbuild <https://github.com/dockbuild/dockbuild#readme>`_
images use the same method to conveniently isolate the build environment as
`dockcross <https://github.com/dockcross/dockcross#readme>`_ but they do **NOT** provide
a toolchain file.
The key difference is that `dockbuild
<https://github.com/dockbuild/dockbuild#readme>`_ images do **NOT** provide
a `toolchain file
<https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/manual/cmake-toolchains.7.html`_
but they use the same method
to conveniently isolate the build environment as `dockcross
<https://github.com/dockcross/dockcross#readme>`_.
`dockbuild` is used to build binaries for Linux x86_64 / amd64 that will work
across most Linux distributions. `dockbuild` performs a native Linux build
where the host build system is a Linux x86_64 / amd64 Docker image (so that it
can be used for building binaries on any system which can run Docker images)
and the target runtime system is Linux x86_x64 / amd64.
`dockcross` is used to build binaries for many different platforms.
`dockcross` performs a cross compilation where the host build system is a
Linux x86_64 / amd64 Docker image (so that it can be used for building
binaries on any system which can run Docker images) and the target runtime
system varies.
