thewtex/cross-compiler-android-arm repository overview

⁠cross-compilers

Dockerfiles for cross compiling in a Docker container.

⁠Features

• Different toolchains for cross compiling.
• 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 and ninja are precompiled. Toolchain files available for cmake.
• Current directory is mounted as the container's workdir, /build.
• Works with boot2docker on OSX and Docker for Mac beta (1.11.1-beta12).

⁠Installation

This image is not intended to be run manually. Instead, there is a helper script which comes 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/

⁠Usage

For the impatient, here's a one-liner to compile a hello world for armv7::

docker run --rm thewtex/cross-compiler-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.

Alternatively, a special update command can be exected that will update the source cross-compiler Docker image or the dockcross script itself.

⁠Built-in update commands

• 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.

⁠Configuration

The following command-line options and environment variables are used. In all cases, the command-line option overrides the environment variable.

DOCKCROSS_CONFIG / --config|-c ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This file is sourced, if it exists, before executing the rest of the dockcross script.

Default: ~/.dockcross

DOCKCROSS_IMAGE / --image|-i ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The docker cross-compiler image to run.

Default: image with which the script was created.

DOCKCROSS_ARGS / --args|-a ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Extra arguments to pass to the docker run command.

⁠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 the CMakeLists.txt in the current directory and generate ninja files.
3. dockcross ninja -Cbuild: Run ninja in the generated build directory.
4. dockcross bash -c 'find . -name *.o | sort > objects.txt'

Note that commands are executed verbatim. If you require any shell processing for environment variable expansion or redirection, please use bash -c 'command args...'.
