Install Guide

The build scripts run on GNU/Linux and macOS.

The Windows binaries are generated on x64 GNU/Linux, using mingw-w64.

Host system

Since the actual builds run inside Docker containers, the distribution or release of GNU/Linux used on the host system is irrelevant.

Docker images

The production XBB comprises multiple Docker images for x64 and Arm.

These images are published on Docker Hub; pulling can be done anonymously, while pushing requires login.

To download/test the x64 GNU/Linux:

docker run --interactive --tty ilegeul/debian:amd64-10-xbb-v6.0.0

To download/test the arm64 GNU/Linux:

docker run --interactive --tty ilegeul/debian:arm64v8-10-xbb-v6.0.0

Typically, manual installation is unnecessary as docker will automatically install them upon first use.

Build Prerequisites

The full details of installing the prerequisites for building xPack Binary Development Tools are available in the Build Prerequisites page.
