Toolchain Container

This repo provides a toolchain container which sets up cross compilation environment for either SDK or build tree toolchain by automatically loading the environment-setup-* script.

Running with SDK Toolchain

Install SDK Toolchain

By default this container assumes SDK is located in /sdk. The SDK needs to be installed separately using the --url option.

Linux

docker run --rm -it -v /home/user/sdk:/sdk <repo>/toolchain --url http://someserver/sdk_installer.sh

Windows/Mac

docker run --rm -it -v sdkvolume:/sdk <repo>/toolchain --url http://someserver/sdk_installer.sh

You should now see:

Poky (Yocto Project Reference Distro) SDK installer version 2.5+snapshot
========================================================================
You are about to install the SDK to "/sdk". Proceed[Y/n]? Y
Extracting SDK........................................................................................................done
Setting it up...done
SDK has been successfully set up and is ready to be used.
Each time you wish to use the SDK in a new shell session, you need to source the environment setup script e.g.
 $ . /sdk/environment-setup-i586-poky-linux
sdkuser@ubuntu:~$

Build with SDK Toolchain

The following instructions assume /workdir is mounted with the location of source tree which needs to be compiled using SDK toolchain.
- Linux
```
docker run --rm -it -v /home/user/sdk:/sdk -v /home/user/workdir:/workdir <repo>/toolchain
```
- Windows/Mac
```
docker run --rm -it -v sdkvolume:/sdk -v myvolume:/workdir <repo>/toolchain
```

Running with Build Tree Toolchain

Prepare Build Tree Toolchain

Follow instructions on https://github.com/crops/poky-container to setup a crops/poky container, then follow the Yocto Project Quick Build manual (https://www.yoctoproject.org/docs/latest/brief-yoctoprojectqs/brief-yoctoprojectqs.html) to clone the poky repo and run bitbake meta-ide-support to prepare the build tree toolchain.
Build with Build Tree Toolchain

The following assumes /workdir/poky/build/tmp (TMPDIR prepared by crops/poky container) has been populated with build tree toolchain. Set the --toolchain option to the build tree toolchain location containing environment-setup-* script.
- Linux
```
docker run --rm -it -v /home/user/workdir:/workdir <repo>/toolchain --toolchain /workdir/poky/build/tmp
```
- Windows/Mac
```
docker run --rm -it -v myvolume:/workdir <repo>/toolchain --toolchain /workdir/poky/build/tmp
```

Examples

CMake

To build a CMake project mounted on /workdir using SDK toolchain:

Linux

docker run --rm -it -v /home/user/sdk:/sdk -v /home/user/workdir:/workdir <repo>/toolchain --cmd "cmake . && make"

Windows/Mac

docker run --rm -it -v sdkvolume:/sdk <repo>/toolchain -v myvolume:/workdir <repo>/toolchain --cmd "cmake . && make"

Autotools

To build an autotools project mounted on /workdir using SDK toolchain:

Linux

docker run --rm -it -v /home/user/sdk:/sdk -v /home/user/workdir:/workdir <repo>/toolchain --cmd "./configure \$CONFIGURE_FLAGS && make"

Windows/Mac

docker run --rm -it -v sdkvolume:/sdk <repo>/toolchain -v myvolume:/workdir <repo>/toolchain --cmd "./configure \$CONFIGURE_FLAGS && make"
