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 platform
  • scummvm_build: builds the project
  • scummvm_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.

Current platforms

The following toolchain images are available:

Obsolete platforms

The toolchains for the following platforms are still available, but they're considered obsolete.

Name Target platform Required configure flags Packaging command Notes
toolchains/caanoo Caanoo --host=caanoo --enable-plugins --default-dynamic --enable-vkeybd make caanoo-bundle
toolchains/n64 Nintendo 64 --host=n64 --enable-vkeybd make n64-dist Requires building with a reduced number of engines.
toolchains/opendingux Dingux --host=dingux --enable-plugins --default-dynamic --enable-vkeybd --disable-theoradec make dingux-dist
toolchains/openpandora OpenPandora --host=openpandora --enable-plugins --default-dynamic --enable-vkeybd make op-pnd

Installing the needed packages

Debian-based distributions

The following should install all the necessary packages:

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:

./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.
