XRT Build (in Docker container)

From time to time, it may be useful to build XRT (Xilinx Runtime) from source. As there are a lot of dependencies required for the build that are not useful in production, we have a containerised build process.

Prerequisites

• Docker installed
• You are in the docker user group
• If you need to use a web proxy, set http_proxy and/or https_proxy environment variables

cd tools/xrt_build_docker
mkdir build

Build Container Image

If direct web access available:

docker build . -t xrt_build

If HTTP proxy is required:

docker build . --build-arg https_proxy --build-arg http_proxy -t xrt_build

Compile XRT

If direct web access available:

docker run -it --rm --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/build,target=/build xrt_build bash -c ./xrt_build.sh

If HTTP proxy is required:

docker run -it --rm --mount type=bind,source="$(pwd)"/build,target=/build -e https_proxy -e http_proxy xrt_build bash -c ./xrt_build.sh
