Sorry @phlummox, this fell into my bit bucket, and unfortunately, I don't have the Ubuntu savvy to answer the questions. @lsm5 do you by chance know or know who might?
@giuseppe PTAL. do you know if the crun build instructions can use pkg-config instead of pkgconf on ubuntu?
I think pkg-config
should be fine.
@phlummox have you tried building crun with pkg-config
? Have you found any issue?
I haven't tried building crun with pkg-config
yet. I'll let you know once I do.
Just a heads up to anyone who runs into this: I've found that the binary available at https://github.com/containers/crun/releases/download/<VERSION>/crun-<VERSION>-linux-amd64
works just great on Ubuntu 22.04. Thanks to this, I have not needed to try to build crun from source, while I do build conmon (due to lack of journald logging support on the binary release, see https://github.com/containers/conmon/issues/348) and Podman itself.
In addition to crun, I'm able to use the binary releases of netavark and aardvark-dns as-is.
Apologies, I haven't had a chance to come back to this. @jklaiho, it's definitely good to hear that the downloadable binaries work well on Ubuntu. But I also think it's reasonable for an open-source project to make it clear how users can build their own binaries, rather than relying on a third party's. cheers.
crun uses automake/autoconf, so if you have the correct libraries installed it is just a matter of running ./autogen.sh && ./configure && make
. More details are in the crun README.md file.
Currently, the installation instructions for building Podman from source say that
pkg-config
is a prerequisite for building Podman on Ubuntu, but they also suggest that it may be necessary to buildcrun
orrunc
from source if the version isn't recent enough (which in my case it wasn't) – and the build instructions forcrun
state thatpkgconf
needs to be installed to build crun.At least on Ubuntu 20.04, it's not possible to have both
pkgconf
andpkg-config
installed at the same time. Ispkgconf
sufficient for building Podman, or do I have to installpkgconf
, buildcrun
, then uninstallpkgconf
and installpkg-config
before I build Podman?I also wondered why there was this inconsistency, when both Podman and
crun
are projects in the containers GitHub organisation – should one or the other be amended so that they're both the same?
