droboports/python-compiler repository overview

⁠docker-cross-compiler-python

WARNING: Ths container has been deprecated in favor of a single all-purpose Drobo cross-compiler environment here: Github⁠ or Docker Hub⁠.

⁠Pull the container

This container is available from Docker Hub⁠.

docker pull droboports/python-compiler

⁠Build the container

docker build --tag="droboports/python-compiler" https://github.com/droboports/docker-cross-compiler-python.git

⁠Start a temporary interactive container

docker run --rm -t -i droboports/python-compiler

⁠Build samba using a temporary interactive container

From the container prompt:

cd ~/build
git clone https://github.com/droboports/samba.git
cd samba
./build.sh
ls -la *.tgz

⁠Using the container's build command

This container provides a special build command to build projects in git repositories.

The syntax is build project-name or build url.git, where project-name is the name of the DroboPorts project, and url.git is the URL of a git repository.

For DroboPorts projects, the name is the last component of the GitHub URL. For example, to build the project hosted by the repository https://github.com/droboports/samba⁠, use the name samba.

To use the build command, first create a folder to host the resulting packages:

mkdir -p ~/dist
chmod a+rw ~/dist

Then start the container using the special build syntax:

docker run --rm --volume ~/dist:/dist droboports/python-compiler build project-name

Once the build is done, ~/dist will contain project-name.tgz. If no tgz or egg was produced, the docker container will start a bash shell.
