| | This document is a bit outdated as it does not describe the simplified |
|---|
| | build noted below, but the document does describe the overall idea |
|---|
| | of what we're trying to accomplish. |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | When this project was first conceived, the idea was to build some |
|---|
| | docker instances and use them as "build machines". Initially, |
|---|
| | we built a minimal tool set, installed it on another docker |
|---|
| | instance, and then built the remainder there. |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | This turned out to be unnecessary. You can do everything on one |
|---|
| | machine. For that matter, you don't even have to do the bootstrap |
|---|
| | phase separately from the full implementation. You can change the |
|---|
| | `makefile` to just build everything in one go, if you prefer. We |
|---|
| | still like building, and saving, a minimal bootstrap image just |
|---|
| | because it provides a nice baseline for subsequent testing and changes |
|---|
| | to the full build. |
|---|
| | |
|---|
| | You also don't need to use docker at all. You can use any VM or Linux |
|---|
| | machine to do this work so long as the libraries, headers, and |
|---|
| | compilers on it are compatible (i.e., close enough in version) to the |
|---|
| | machines where you want to run the tools. |
