Building Linux packages uses Docker with Dockerfiles located in this repository.
For 64 bits, these Dockerfiles inherit from public docker images. For 32 bits, custom docker images were created using docker's contrib/mkimage, and some other open source scripts :
- https://github.com/toopher/toopher-docker for CentOS 32 bit image building
- https://github.com/daald/docker-brew-ubuntu-core-32bit for Ubuntu
These 32 bits image use 32 bits packages and a trick to ensure that "linux32" will be prepended to "docker run" commands.
Mac OS X packages are built directly on a Mac and do not use Docker.
The special self build builds the agent for the current host.
First, modify settings.json
For building packages, fpm and unzip should be installed and on the $PATH. Python3 should be installed on the building host and should provide the sh module (installable via pip). Additionally, to build Linux packages, one should install :
- curl
- docker
- rpm for building rpm packages
- debhelper for building deb packages
On Mac OS X, Xcode should be installed, as well as wget and OpenSSL (typically using Homebrew; the path to Homebrew's OpenSSL install is appended to the CFLAGS and LDFLAGS used when building Python).
The special self build only requires python3.5 to be installed in its usual location /usr/lib/python3 (tested with Ubuntu 12.06 and Archlinux 2016.09.03).
