Makefile/Docker testing

To test the build on various distro, we are using docker containers and a Makefile for orchestration.

pros:

• You are independent of third party CI runner config (e.g. github action virtual-environnments).
• You can run it locally on your linux system.
• Most CI provide runners with docker and Makefile installed.

cons:

• Only GNU/Linux distro supported.

Usage

To get the help simply type:

make

note: you can also use from top directory

make --directory=cmake/ci

Example

For example to test mips32 inside an container:

make mips32_test

Docker layers

Dockerfile is splitted in several stages.
