# Docker container for running autoconf
|
|
|
|
## Rationale
|
|
|
|
We store generated `configure` in Git to make it simpler for people to build
|
|
wxWidgets without having to run autoconf themselves first, but this means that
|
|
generating it on another system often results in insignificant changes just due
|
|
to a different version of autoconf being used. By using this container, we can
|
|
use the same version everywhere.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Using Pre-Made Image
|
|
|
|
To use this container, you can pull it from Docker registry and run it
|
|
directly by executing the following command from the top-level wx directory:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ podman run -v `pwd`:/wx --rm docker.io/vadz/autoconf-for-wx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or, if you prefer to use podman:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ docker run -v `pwd`:/wx --rm vadz/autoconf-for-wx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Build
|
|
|
|
You can also build the container yourself easily using the Dockerfile in this
|
|
directory, just run
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ docker build -t autoconf-for-wx build/tools/autoconf
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This should (quickly) finish with
|
|
```
|
|
Successfully tagged autoconf-for-wx:latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Updating autoconf version
|
|
|
|
When we decide to switch to a newer autoconf version, we should update the
|
|
`Dockerfile` here to use a later version of Alpine Linux: the currently used
|
|
version is specifically chosen because it has the package with the latest
|
|
version of autoconf 2.69.
