Docker - how to use the environment for building #41

Closed cncpadawan closed 6 years ago

cncpadawan commented 6 years ago

Hello,

Sorry for the very dumb question.. but I followed the instructions for setting up the docker image, but from there I am not sure how to build in the environment. I created a container using the image and ran bash.. but cmake isn't in the paths or in the filesystem, so I can't kick off the build process. Is there some sort of a walk through on building using it?

Again, sorry for the dumb question (I haven't used docker before)...

You shouldn't need cmake on your host machine to use the docker image. Simply install Docker, run the provided command to build the image (can take a long time) and after that use docker run -it <image_name> to run the image. This won't give you a full Cura setup though. The Dockerfile in the Cura repo (https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/blob/master/Dockerfile) is building on top of this image to actually run Cura.

Hello ChrisTerBeke,

Thanks for the info. I did run the command, it built the image, and I started the image, but from there I'm not exactly sure what to do with it from there. My understanding from the readme is that it should create a build environment.. is that not the case?

The image in this repository IS the build environment. Please check the Cura repository for a Docker image that is build on top of it.
