## Getting started
## How to add a new image ? (With crosstool-ng)
In this part, we will see how to add a new image, we will take example with `linux-arm64` for a raspberry pi 4, with [crosstool-ng](https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng).
### Build and config crosstool-ng
To start, you need to download the source code of crosstool-ng:
```bash
git clone --recurse-submodules --remote-submodules https://github.com/crosstool-ng/crosstool-ng.git
```
Go to crosstool-ng folder:
```bash
cd crosstool-ng
```
Change git branch:
```bash
git checkout crosstool-ng-1.25.0
```
Once in the **crosstool-ng** folder, you must first run the **bootstrap** script:
```bash
./bootstrap
```
Then run the **configure** script:
*Note: ***--enable-local*** Do a portable install of crosstool-ng.*:
```bash
./configure --enable-local
```
Finally, launch the building of crosstool-ng:
```bash
make -j$(nproc)
```
Once the crosstool-ng build is complete, you can run this command to test crosstool-ng:
```bash
./ct-ng --version
```
Before starting the configuration of the toolchains, i recommend you to use one of the examples from crosstool-ng and then make your changes, the command to display the examples:
```bash
./ct-ng list-samples
```
We will take the example of **aarch64-rpi4-linux-gnu**, a **.config** file will be created:
```bash
./ct-ng aarch64-rpi4-linux-gnu
```
We will configure the toolchains according to our needs:
```bash
./ct-ng menuconfig
```
Once the modifications are made, we will display the name of the toolchains, it will be useful later:
```bash
./ct-ng show-tuple
```
### Configuring docker image
You must create a file with the **same** name of the docker image (**linux-arm64**).
Copy the **.config** of crosstool-ng to this file (**linux-arm64**) and rename it to **crosstool-ng.config**.
You need to create a file named **Toolchain.cmake** in **linux-arm64**.
Copy text to **Toolchain.cmake** file:
```cmake
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME Linux)
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_VERSION 1)
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR ARM64)
set(cross_triple $ENV{CROSS_TRIPLE})
set(cross_root $ENV{CROSS_ROOT})
set(CMAKE_C_COMPILER $ENV{CC})
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER $ENV{CXX})
set(CMAKE_Fortran_COMPILER $ENV{FC})
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "-I ${cross_root}/include/")
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH ${cross_root} ${cross_root}/${cross_triple})
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_PROGRAM NEVER)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_LIBRARY BOTH)
set(CMAKE_FIND_ROOT_PATH_MODE_INCLUDE BOTH)
set(CMAKE_SYSROOT ${cross_root}/${cross_triple}/sysroot)
set(CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR /usr/bin/qemu-arm64)
```
Then ou must change these lines according to the targeted architecture, here **ARM64**:
```cmake
set(CMAKE_SYSTEM_PROCESSOR ARM64)
set(CMAKE_CROSSCOMPILING_EMULATOR /usr/bin/qemu-arm64)
```
Then you must create a file named **Dockerfile.in** in the image folder (**linux-arm64**).
Copy text to **Dockerfile.in** file:
```docker
FROM dockcross/base:latest
LABEL maintainer="Matt McCormick matt.mccormick@kitware.com"
# This is for 64-bit ARM Linux machine
# Crosstool-ng crosstool-ng-1.25.0 2022-05-13
ENV CT_VERSION crosstool-ng-1.25.0
#include "common.crosstool"
# The cross-compiling emulator
RUN apt-get update \
&& apt-get install -y \
qemu-user \
qemu-user-static \
&& apt-get clean --yes
# The CROSS_TRIPLE is a configured alias of the "aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu" target.
ENV CROSS_TRIPLE aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
ENV CROSS_ROOT ${XCC_PREFIX}/${CROSS_TRIPLE}
ENV AS=${CROSS_ROOT}/bin/${CROSS_TRIPLE}-as \
AR=${CROSS_ROOT}/bin/${CROSS_TRIPLE}-ar \
CC=${CROSS_ROOT}/bin/${CROSS_TRIPLE}-gcc \
CPP=${CROSS_ROOT}/bin/${CROSS_TRIPLE}-cpp \
CXX=${CROSS_ROOT}/bin/${CROSS_TRIPLE}-g++ \
LD=${CROSS_ROOT}/bin/${CROSS_TRIPLE}-ld \
FC=${CROSS_ROOT}/bin/${CROSS_TRIPLE}-gfortran
ENV QEMU_LD_PREFIX "${CROSS_ROOT}/${CROSS_TRIPLE}/sysroot"
ENV QEMU_SET_ENV "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${CROSS_ROOT}/lib:${QEMU_LD_PREFIX}"
COPY Toolchain.cmake ${CROSS_ROOT}/
ENV CMAKE_TOOLCHAIN_FILE ${CROSS_ROOT}/Toolchain.cmake
ENV PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig
# Linux kernel cross compilation variables
ENV PATH ${PATH}:${CROSS_ROOT}/bin
ENV CROSS_COMPILE ${CROSS_TRIPLE}-
ENV ARCH arm64
#include "common.label-and-env"
```
Then ou must change these lines according to the targeted architecture.
Here you have to change the value according to the name of the toolchain (./ct-ng show-tuple):
```docker
ENV CROSS_TRIPLE aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu
```
These lines also need to be changed:
```docker
LABEL maintainer="Matt McCormick matt.mccormick@kitware.com"
ENV PKG_CONFIG_PATH /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig
ENV ARCH arm64
```
Once this part is finished, there must be 3 files in the **linux-arm64** folder:
- **crosstool-ng.config**, the configuration of the toolchain/crosstool-ng.
- **Dockerfile.in**, the docker file.
- **Toolchain.cmake**, the CMake file for the toolchains.
### Makefile and CI
For this last part, we will see how to add the image to the [Makefile](Makefile) and to a github action.
You need to add the image/folder name (**linux-arm64**) to the **STANDARD_IMAGES** variable in the [Makefile](Makefile):
```make
# These images are built using the "build implicit rule"
STANDARD_IMAGES = android-arm android-arm64 android-x86 android-x86_64 \
linux-x86 linux-x64 linux-x64-clang linux-arm64 linux-arm64-musl linux-arm64-full \
linux-armv5 linux-armv5-musl linux-armv5-uclibc linux-m68k-uclibc linux-s390x linux-x64-tinycc \
linux-armv6 linux-armv6-lts linux-armv6-musl linux-arm64-lts \
linux-armv7l-musl linux-armv7 linux-armv7a linux-armv7-lts linux-x86_64-full \
linux-mips linux-ppc64le linux-riscv64 linux-riscv32 linux-xtensa-uclibc \
web-wasi \
windows-static-x86 windows-static-x64 windows-static-x64-posix windows-armv7 \
windows-shared-x86 windows-shared-x64 windows-shared-x64-posix windows-arm64
```
You need to add the image/folder name (**linux-arm64**) to the **GEN_IMAGES** variable in the [Makefile](Makefile):
```make
# Generated Dockerfiles.
GEN_IMAGES = android-arm android-arm64 \
linux-x86 linux-x64 linux-x64-clang linux-arm64 linux-arm64-musl linux-arm64-full \
manylinux2014-x64 manylinux2014-x86 \
manylinux2014-aarch64 linux-arm64-lts \
web-wasm web-wasi linux-mips windows-arm64 windows-armv7 \
windows-static-x86 windows-static-x64 windows-static-x64-posix \
windows-shared-x86 windows-shared-x64 windows-shared-x64-posix \
linux-armv7 linux-armv7a linux-armv7l-musl linux-armv7-lts linux-x86_64-full \
linux-armv6 linux-armv6-lts linux-armv6-musl \
linux-armv5 linux-armv5-musl linux-armv5-uclibc linux-ppc64le linux-s390x \
linux-riscv64 linux-riscv32 linux-m68k-uclibc linux-x64-tinycc linux-xtensa-uclibc
```
To finish, you have to add to [Github Action](.github/workflows/main.yml) the image/folder name:
```yml
# Linux arm64/armv8 images
- {
image: "linux-arm64",
stockfish: "yes",
stockfish_arg: "ARCH=armv8",
ninja: "yes",
ninja_arg: "",
openssl: "yes",
openssl_arg: "linux-aarch64",
C: "yes",
C_arg: "",
C-Plus-Plus: "yes",
C-Plus-Plus_arg: "",
fmt: "yes",
fmt_arg: "",
cpython: "yes",
cpython_arg: "--host=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu --target=aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu",
}
```
You can disable and enable the build of certain tests which can cause problems with certain CPU architectures (eg. OpenSSL with Risc-V...).
