C/C++ Build Environment

A Docker-based development environment for compiling 32-bit and 64-bit C/C++ applications, pre-configured with modern compilers and build tools.

Features

• Modern Toolchain Versions: fresh compiler suites and development tools.

• Multi-Architecture Support: compile for both x86 (32-bit) and x86_64 (64-bit) targets.

• Legacy System Compatibility: the Oracle Linux 7 image comes with glibc-2.17, making it a suitable environment for compiling applications that need to run on older Linux distributions.

Distribution	glibc	Binutils	Make	CMake	Ninja	GCC	Clang
Oracle Linux 7	2.17	2.44	4.4.1	3.31.8	1.13.1	15.1.0	-
Ubuntu 24.04	2.39	2.44	4.4.1	3.31.8	1.13.1	14.2.0	20.1.8

Building Images

Prerequisites

• Docker installed on your machine.
• A Unix-like shell (Linux, macOS, or WSL on Windows) to run the build script.

Usage

The build process is managed via the build.sh script:

./build.sh [options]

To build the Docker images, run the build.sh with the following options:

• -d, --distro <name>
  Specify the base Linux distribution for the Docker image (e.g., oracle-7, ubuntu-24.04).

• -c, --compiler <name>
  Specify the compiler to include in the Docker image:

  • gnu: GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)
  • clang: Clang/LLVM
  • all: Build images for each compiler available in the specified distribution.

• -t, --tag <tag>
  Specify a custom Docker image tag (optional).
  

• -h, --help
  Display the help message.

Examples

Build a Docker image for Ubuntu 24.04 LTS with the GNU compiler:

./build.sh --distro ubuntu-24.04 --compiler gnu

Build a Docker image for Oracle 7 with the GNU compiler and a custom tag:

./build.sh -d oracle-7 -c gnu -t my-custom-tag

Build Docker images for all available compilers on Ubuntu 24.04 LTS:

./build.sh -d ubuntu-24.04
