build inside docker

[quant61]

Is it possible to build it with docker?

I tried

• madduci/docker-linux-cpp
• teeks99/boost-cpp-docker:clang-14

Dockerfile:

FROM teeks99/boost-cpp-docker:clang-14

RUN apt update
RUN apt upgrade -y
RUN apt install -y cmake libboost-all-dev

RUN git clone --recursive https://github.com/objectcomputing/mFAST.git /mFAST
RUN mkdir /mFAST/build

RUN cd /mFAST/build && cmake -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang-14 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++-14 .. \
    && make

On make I get following error:

In file included from /mFAST/src/mfast/decimal_ref.cpp:12:
/usr/include/boost/multiprecision/cpp_dec_float.hpp:613:12: error: implicit instantiation of undefined template 'boost::serialization::nvp<bool>'
      ar & boost::serialization::make_nvp("sign", neg);
           ^

      struct nvp;

      struct nvp;
             ^
2 errors generated.

Which docker image and which clang++ or g++ version is it better to use? If possible with std-c++20 or at least std-c++17

I finally implemented working Dockerfile. I'm not sure if it's implemented in a best way, but test file with #include <mfast.h> compiled

FROM teeks99/boost-cpp-docker:clang-14

RUN apt update
RUN apt upgrade -y
RUN apt install -y cmake curl

# copied from `.github/workflows/main.yml`
RUN cd / && curl -L https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.72.0/source/boost_1_72_0.tar.gz | tar zx
RUN cd /boost_1_72_0 && ./bootstrap.sh && ./b2

RUN git clone --recursive https://github.com/objectcomputing/mFAST.git /mFAST
RUN mkdir /mFAST/build

RUN cd /mFAST/build \
    && cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/boost_1_72_0 -DBoost_INCLUDE_DIR=/boost_1_72_0 -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang-14 -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++-14 .. \
    && make

# make it available without additional flags in compiler
RUN cd /mFAST/build && make install
# without this compiler will `fatal error: 'boost/config.hpp' file not found`
RUN ln -s /boost_1_72_0/boost /usr/local/include/boost

UPDATE: but linker still can't find any references even if I just declare variable of mfast type. so it doesn't work yet.

mi_test.cpp:(.text+0x9): undefined reference to `mfast::malloc_allocator::instance()'
/usr/bin/ld: mi_test.cpp:(.text+0x15): undefined reference to `mfast::fast_encoder::fast_encoder(mfast::allocator*)'
/usr/bin/ld: mi_test.cpp:(.text+0x1e): undefined reference to `mfast::fast_encoder::~fast_encoder()'

Finally, I come to this version:

FROM madduci/docker-linux-cpp

RUN apt update
RUN apt upgrade -y
RUN apt install -y cmake curl git

RUN cd / && curl -L https://boostorg.jfrog.io/artifactory/main/release/1.72.0/source/boost_1_72_0.tar.gz | tar zx

# BOOOST.BOOTSTRAP!!!
# Y U CANNO SPECIFY VERSION FOR CLANG++ ???!!!
RUN update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang clang /usr/bin/clang-12 90 --slave /usr/bin/clang++ clang++ /usr/bin/clang++-12

RUN cd /boost_1_72_0 && ./bootstrap.sh -with-toolset=clang  \
    && ./b2 && ./b2 install

RUN git clone --recursive https://github.com/objectcomputing/mFAST.git /mFAST && sleep 0
RUN mkdir /mFAST/build

RUN cd /mFAST/build \
    && cmake -DBOOST_ROOT=/boost_1_72_0 \
    -DBoost_INCLUDE_DIR=/boost_1_72_0 \
    -DCMAKE_C_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang-12 \
    -DCMAKE_CXX_COMPILER=/usr/bin/clang++-12 \
    -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=ON \
    .. \
    && make

RUN cd /mFAST/build && make install
