Compiling ScummVM/Docker
Compiling ScummVM using Docker
The ScummVM buildbot uses Docker for building the toolchains.
As such, this makes it possible for the individual toolchains to be used for local builds, avoiding the need to install the toolchain and required libraries manually.
Some convenience aliases are provided in every toolchains to make it easier to build ScummVM for the supported platforms. There are three commands defined:
scummvm_configure: invokes the configure script (located in/data/scummvm) with the proper options for the platformscummvm_build: builds the projectscummvm_package: packages the project ready for use on the targeted platform
Some toolchains support several platforms at once. In this case, the aliases have been defined per platform with a suffix. The aliases can then be found using the aliases command.

Installing the needed packages
Debian-based distributions
The following should install all the necessary packages:
sudo apt-get install docker.io git
Getting the source
- Open a Terminal and type:
git clone https://github.com/scummvm/scummvm.git
Using the docker images
To fetch a toolchain image from the Docker Hub, issue the following command from the ScummVM source directory:
# Note: on some systems, it may be necessary to prefix
# the following command with 'sudo'
./devtools/docker.sh <toolchain>
where <toolchain> is the name of the toolchain you want to use. This will fetch the requested toolchain from the Docker Hub if it isn't installed, mount the scummvm folder in the Docker image and launch a shell that can be used to build ScummVM for the relevant platform. Alternatively, you can use the following command to fetch updates for an already installed toolchain before launching the shell:
./devtools/docker.sh --update <toolchain>
Once in the Docker image, the following commands should be issued in order to build ScummVM:
scummvm_configure <configure-flags>
scummvm_build
scummvm_package
where <configure-flags> is the list of additional configure flags. The packaging command is optional.
On toolchain images supporting several platforms, the aliases are diversified in the form scummvm_<action>_<variant>.
Use the aliases command to find the proper ones.
Once done, the exit command can be used to leave the Docker image.
