Linux C++ Build Environment

See Dockerfile for the list of installed software and versions.

Build Docker Image

docker build --target local --tag cxx-builder .

Build Example C++ Project w/glibc

mkdir -p example-build
docker run --rm --interactive \
    --mount type=bind,readonly,source=./example,target=/source \
    --mount type=bind,source=./example-build,target=/build \
    cxx-builder sh << EOF
g++ -std=c++23 -static -o /build/example main.cpp
EOF
./example-build/example

You can check that glibc is used:

objdump --dynamic-syms example-build/example | grep --fixed-strings GLIBC_

Build Example C++ Project w/musl

mkdir -p example-build
docker run --rm --interactive \
    --mount type=bind,readonly,source=./example,target=/source \
    --mount type=bind,source=./example-build,target=/build \
    cxx-builder sh << EOF
set -e
export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/toolchains/x86_64-pc-linux-musl/bin
x86_64-pc-linux-musl-g++ -std=c++23 -static -o /build/example main.cpp
EOF
./example-build/example

The example above uses -static so that you can run it without installing musl on the target system.

Next we'll check that glibc is not used.

mkdir -p example-build
docker run --rm --interactive \
    --mount type=bind,readonly,source=./example,target=/source \
    --mount type=bind,source=./example-build,target=/build \
    cxx-builder sh << EOF
set -e
export PATH=${PATH}:/opt/toolchains/x86_64-pc-linux-musl/bin
x86_64-pc-linux-musl-g++ -std=c++23 -o /build/example main.cpp
EOF
objdump --dynamic-syms example-build/example | grep --fixed-strings GLIBC_

git tag --sign --annotate --message='Release 1.0.0' v1.0.0
