This Dockerfile creates a sandboxed, runnable Pony Compiler environment based on the latest commit to master
on GitHub.
This is tested with the following software:
- llvm-3.6
- docker 1.8.0 (running on Ubuntu 14.04)
Since its main dependency is docker, it should run on any platform with docker installed (e.g. Windows, OS X). It may or may not work with earlier versions of docker. To install docker on your system, see the official docker installation instructions.
To build the docker image:
$ docker build -t rbrewer123/ponyc github.com/rbrewer123/docker_ponyc
You can see your new image with this command:
$ docker images
Grab the ponyc script from github like this:
$ git clone https://github.com/rbrewer123/docker_ponyc
Now update the docker_ponyc/ponyc script to use your correct
username, uid, group, and gid. This avoids problems with
files being owned by root or other permissions problems that often occur
when using docker in this manner.
To run ponyc from within the container, simply run the ponyc script:
$ docker_ponyc/ponyc --help
