# Build containers for Project ACRN
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Introduction
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This folder contains a number of Dockerfile that include
|
||
|
|
all the build tools and dependencies to build the ACRN Project
|
||
|
|
components, i.e. the `acrn-hypervisor` and `acrn-devicemodel`
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The workflow is pretty simple and can be summarized in these few steps:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. Build the *build containers* based on your preferred OS
|
||
|
|
1. Clone the Project ACRN repositories
|
||
|
|
1. Start the build container and give it the repositories
|
||
|
|
1. Build the Project ACRN components
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The pre-requisite is that you have Docker installed on your machine.
|
||
|
|
Explaining how to install it on your system is beyond the scope of this
|
||
|
|
document, please visit https://www.docker.com for detailed instructions.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Build the *build containers*
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Each `Dockerfile` in this repo has an extension that tells what Linux
|
||
|
|
distribution it is based on. To build a container using any of those,
|
||
|
|
use this command:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ sudo docker build -t <container-name> -f Dockerfile.<baseos> .
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As an example, to build a container based on CentOS 7, do:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ sudo docker build -t centos7 -f Dockerfile.centos7 .
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Clone Project ACRN
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Follow these simple steps to clone the Project ACRN repositories
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ mkdir ~/acrn
|
||
|
|
$ cd ~/acrn
|
||
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor
|
||
|
|
$ git clone https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-devicemodel
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Start the build container
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Use this `~/acrn` folder and pass it on to your build container:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ cd ~/acrn
|
||
|
|
$ sudo docker run -ti -v $PWD:/root/acrn <container-name>
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Using CentOS 7 again as an example, that gives us:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ cd ~/acrn
|
||
|
|
$ sudo docker run -ti -v $PWD:/root/acrn centos7
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
**Note:** if you encounter permission issues within the container (as it
|
||
|
|
happens on a Fedora 27 host), try adding the `:z` parameter to the mount option.
|
||
|
|
This will unlock the permission restriction (that comes from SElinux). Your
|
||
|
|
command-line would then be:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
$ cd ~/acrn
|
||
|
|
$ sudo docker run -ti -v $PWD:/root/acrn:z centos7
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Build the ACRN components
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The steps above place you inside the container and give you access to
|
||
|
|
the Project ACRN repositories you cloned earlier. You can now build any
|
||
|
|
of the components. Here is an example:
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
# cd acrn-hypervisor
|
||
|
|
# make PLATFORM=uefi RELEASE=1
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can do this for all build combinations and also try to build the `acrn-devicemodel`.
|
||
|
|
All the build dependencies and tools are pre-installed in the container as well as a
|
||
|
|
couple of useful tools (`git` and `vim`) so you can directly edit files to experiment
|
||
|
|
from within the container.
