Ticket #3821 - Docker env build container, now with FEM!

[Kunda1]

I tried to use docker for compile/build, on a MacOS and the compile/build process works, no error messages, though it took quite long.

Maybe the answer is somewhere in https://forum.freecadweb.org/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=51345 ?

I just thought to give that a try since the homebrew solution (for Big Sur) still has some lackings. But at 39% I got

Code: Select all

c++: internal compiler error: Killed (program cc1plus)

Too bad

Looks like this no longer works with HEAD

Different question: is X11 really required for a pure build on macOS?

You do not need X11 for a build on macOS. Which compiler version are you using GCC or CLang ? Most of our build are based on CLang and XCode. Can you give a try with GCC 10 at least. It is available with homebrew

@vjemarie This is with the docker build (as the thread subject says). The outdated gcc is inside that docker image and not the host one, so I can't just brew install the new one.
I suspect that this failure affects everyone trying to use this way of building independent of the host OS.

I tried to follow the Compile with Docker guide on my MacOS 11.2.3 Big Sur , Apple M1 chip. This is as far as I could get

david@Davids-Air ~ % docker run -it --rm -v $fc_source:/mnt/source -v $fc_build:/mnt/build -e "DISPLAY" -e "QT_X11_NO_MITSHM=1" -v /tmp/.X11-unix:/tmp/.X11-unix:ro registry.gitlab.com/daviddaish/freecad_docker_env:latest
WARNING: The requested image's platform (linux/amd64) does not match the detected host platform (linux/arm64/v8) and no specific platform was requested
root@c6b1550084a6:~#

Is there anything I can do to fix problem?

Hi there!

I tried to follow the Compile with Docker guide on my MacOS 11.2.3 Big Sur , Apple M1 chip. This is as far as I could get

The problem is that the building tools (compiler, linker, etc.) are for intel based machines, and the new M1 is an arm based machine: the Docker image that @David_D created should be refactored for this purpose. Maybe you can try to use his Docker image creation script as a template to create a new one changing the building toolchain.

I haven't checked, but maybe someone else is already compiling FreeCAD for the M1 based machines. Not an easy task anyway...

Regards!

Same issue now a year later, the container has too old build tools so it cannot build 0.20.

What's the status of the docker container, is it abandoned and everyone is building without docker?
