Docker Containers
These Docker containers should make it possible to build Xen in any of the available environments on any system that supports running Docker. They are organized by distro and tagged with the version of that distro. They are available from the GitLab Container Registry under the Xen project at:
registry.gitlab.com/xen-project/xen/DISTRO:VERSION
To see the list of available containers run make in this
directory. You will have to replace the / with a : to use
them.
Building Xen
From the top level of the source tree it should be possible to run the following:
docker run --rm -it -v $(PWD):/build -u $(id -u) -e CC=gcc $(CONTAINER) make
There are other modifications that can be made but this will run
the make command inside the specified container. It will use your
currently checked out source tree to build with, ensure that file
permissions remain consistent and clean up after itself.
Building a container
There is a makefile to make this process easier. You should be
able to run make DISTRO/VERSION to have Docker build the container
for you.
