sq7lrx/wxgtkbase repository overview

⁠wxGTK Base Image for Docker

This is a plain base image built on top of Alpine Linux⁠ to host applications written with wxWidgets⁠ C++ library.

⁠What is wxGTK?

wxGTK⁠ is a port of wxWidgets to the GTK+ toolkit. It is the default port used (if available) on all Linux and Unix platforms except for Mac OS X.

⁠Variants

• alpine-{WXGTK_VERSION} - runtime image (~9 MB) with wxgtk-base package installed
• alpine-{WXGTK_VERSION}-dev - development variant contains wxgtk-base just like the runtime image, but also some tools needed to build your application: make, c++, gcc and wxgtk-dev.

⁠How to use?

1. Mount you source code in /build
2. Use both base images to build your software and runtime image:

   FROM sq7lrx/wxgtkbase:3.0.4-r5-dev AS builder
   COPY * .
   RUN ./configure \
    && make -j$(nproc)
   # or
   RUN c++ main.cpp -o release/application
   
   FROM sq7lrx/wxgtkbase:3.0.4-r5
   WORKDIR /app
   COPY --from builder /build/release/application . # default is /app
   CMD ["./application"]
   

   Copy
