If you have Docker installed, you can run this
in your terminal, when the Dockerfile is inside the .devcontainer
directory:
docker build -f ./.devcontainer/Dockerfile --tag=my_project:latest .
docker run -it my_project:latest
This command will put you in a bash
session in a Ubuntu 20.04 Docker container,
with all of the tools listed in the Dependencies section already installed.
Additionally, you will have g++-11
and clang++-13
installed as the default
versions of g++
and clang++
.
If you want to build this container using some other versions of gcc and clang,
you may do so with the GCC_VER
and LLVM_VER
arguments:
docker build --tag=myproject:latest --build-arg GCC_VER=10 --build-arg LLVM_VER=11 .
The CC and CXX environment variables are set to GCC version 11 by default. If you wish to use clang as your default CC and CXX environment variables, you may do so like this:
docker build --tag=my_project:latest --build-arg USE_CLANG=1 .
You will be logged in as root, so you will see the #
symbol as your prompt.
You will be in a directory that contains a copy of the cpp_starter_project
;
any changes you make to your local copy will not be updated in the Docker image
until you rebuild it.
If you need to mount your local copy directly in the Docker image, see
Docker volumes docs.
TLDR:
docker run -it \
-v absolute_path_on_host_machine:absolute_path_in_guest_container \
my_project:latest
You can configure and build as directed above using these commands:
/starter_project# mkdir build
/starter_project# cmake -S . -B ./build
/starter_project# cmake --build ./build
You can configure and build using clang-13
, without rebuilding the container,
with these commands:
/starter_project# mkdir build
/starter_project# CC=clang CXX=clang++ cmake -S . -B ./build
/starter_project# cmake --build ./build
The ccmake
tool is also installed; you can substitute ccmake
for cmake
to
configure the project interactively.
All of the tools this project supports are installed in the Docker image;
enabling them is as simple as flipping a switch using the ccmake
interface.
Be aware that some of the sanitizers conflict with each other, so be sure to
run them separately.
A script called build_examples.sh
is provided to help you to build the example
GUI projects in this container.
