Cross compiling toolchains in Docker images
bd234af0a9
As explained in [1], when using dockcross from python subprocess, the
interactive mode is disabled and output of "cat /dev/urandom" is block
buffered instead of being line buffered.
Workaround to this problem is to simply read a fixed amount of characters
from urandom.
The following two snippets illustrates the problem and the
the implemented solution:
Works
```python
import subprocess as sp
sp.check_call("var=$(head -c 500 /dev/urandom | base64 | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 7 | head -n 1); echo $var", shell=True)
```
=> output random string
Fail:
```python
import subprocess as sp
sp.check_call("var=$(cat /dev/urandom | base64 | tr -dc 'a-zA-Z0-9' | fold -w 7 | head -n 1); echo $var", shell=True)
```
=> Hang

dockcross
=========
Cross compiling toolchains in Docker images.
.. image:: https://circleci.com/gh/dockcross/dockcross/tree/master.svg?style=svg
:target: https://circleci.com/gh/dockcross/dockcross/tree/master
Features
--------
* Different toolchains for cross compiling.
* Most images also contain an emulator for the target system.
* 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 <https://cmake.org>`_ and ninja are precompiled. Toolchain files configured for CMake.
* Current directory is mounted as the container's workdir, ``/work``.
* Works with the `Docker Toolbox <https://www.docker.com/products/docker-toolbox>`_ on Mac OSX.

Installation
------------
This image does not need to be run manually. Instead, there is a helper script
to execute build commands on source code existing on the local host filesystem. This
script is 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/
Where `CROSS_COMPILER_IMAGE_NAME` is the name of the cross-compiler toolchain
Docker instance, e.g. `dockcross/linux-armv7`.
Usage
-----
For the impatient, here's how to compile a hello world for armv7::
cd ~/src/dockcross
docker run --rm dockcross/linux-armv7 > ./dockcross-linux-armv7
chmod +x ./dockcross-linux-armv7
./dockcross-linux-armv7 bash -c '$CC test/C/hello.c -o hello_arm'
Note how invoking any toolchain command (make, gcc, etc.) is just a matter of prepending the **dockcross** script on the commandline::
./dockcross-linux-armv7 [command] [args...]
The dockcross script will execute the given command-line inside the container,
along with all arguments passed after the command. Commands that evaluate
environmental variable in the image, like `$CC` above, should be executed in
`bash -c`. The present working directory is mounted within the image, which
can be used to make source code available in the Docker container.
Built-in update commands
------------------------
A special update command can be executed that will update the
source cross-compiler Docker image or the dockcross script itself.
- ``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.
- ``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.
Download all images
-------------------
To easily download all images, the convenience target ``display_images`` could be used::
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dockcross/dockcross/master/Makefile -o dockcross-Makefile
for image in $(make -f dockcross-Makefile display_images); do
echo "Pulling dockcross/$image"
docker pull dockcross/$image
done
Install all dockcross scripts
-----------------------------
To automatically install in ``~/bin`` the dockcross scripts for each images already downloaded, the
convenience target ``display_images`` could be used::
curl https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dockcross/dockcross/master/Makefile -o dockcross-Makefile
for image in $(make -f dockcross-Makefile display_images); do
if [[ $(docker images -q dockcross/$image) == "" ]]; then
echo "~/bin/dockcross-$image skipping: image not found locally"
continue
fi
echo "~/bin/dockcross-$image ok"
docker run dockcross/$image > ~/bin/dockcross-$image && \
chmod u+x ~/bin/dockcross-$image
done
Configuration
-------------
The following environmental variables and command-line options are used. In
all cases, the command-line option overrides the environment variable.
DOCKCROSS_CONFIG / --config|-c <path-to-config-file>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This file is sourced, if it exists, before executing the rest of the dockcross
script.
Default: ``~/.dockcross``
DOCKCROSS_IMAGE / --image|-i <docker-image-name>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The Docker cross-compiler image to run.
Default: Image with which the script was created.
DOCKCROSS_ARGS / --args|-a <docker-run-args>
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Extra arguments to pass to the ``docker run`` command. Quote the entire set of
args if they contain spaces.
Examples
--------
1. ``dockcross make``: Build the *Makefile* in the current directory.
2. ``dockcross cmake -Bbuild -H. -GNinja``: Run CMake with a build directory
``./build`` for a *CMakeLists.txt* file in the current directory and generate
``ninja`` build configuration files.
3. ``dockcross ninja -Cbuild``: Run ninja in the ``./build`` directory.
4. ``dockcross bash -c '$CC test/C/hello.c -o hello'``: Build the *hello.c* file
with the compiler identified with the ``CC`` environmental variable in the
build environment.
5. ``dockcross bash``: Run an interactive shell in the build environment.
Note that commands are executed verbatim. If any shell processing for
environment variable expansion or redirection is required, please use
`bash -c 'command args...'`.
