Building with docker is arguably easier and more familiar to most people than either kvm, or lxc. This commit also relaxes the back compat requirement a bit. 32 bit linux now uses glibc version 2.0. Also, the docker shell could not handle gcc arguments containing spaces, so the explicit '-DFELT_TYPE' declaration was dropped. Lastly, this removes some packages from the osx descriptor.

Gitian building
|
|
================
|
|
|
|
*Setup instructions for a Gitian build of Monero.*
|
|
|
|
Gitian is the deterministic build process that is used to build the Monero CLI
|
|
executables. It provides a way to be reasonably sure that the
|
|
executables are really built from the git source. It also makes sure that
|
|
the same, tested dependencies are used and statically built into the executable.
|
|
|
|
Multiple developers build the source code by following a specific descriptor
|
|
("recipe"), cryptographically sign the result, and upload the resulting signature.
|
|
These results are compared and only if they match, the build is accepted and provided
|
|
for download.
|
|
|
|
Gitian runs compilation steps in an isolated container. It is flexible and gives you full
|
|
control over the build environment, while still ensuring reproducibility and consistent output
|
|
formats.
|
|
|
|
More independent Gitian builders are needed, which is why this guide exists.
|
|
It is preferred you follow these steps yourself instead of using someone else's
|
|
VM image to avoid 'contaminating' the build.
|
|
|
|
Preparing the Gitian builder host
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The first step is to prepare the host environment that will be used to perform the Gitian builds.
|
|
This guide explains how to set up the environment, and how to start the builds.
|
|
Gitian offers to build with either `kvm`, `docker` or `lxc`. The default build
|
|
path chosen is `lxc`, but its setup is more complicated. You need to be logged in as the `gitianuser`.
|
|
If this user does not exist yet on your system, create it. Gitian can use
|
|
either kvm, lxc or docker as a host environment. This documentation will show
|
|
how to build with lxc and docker. While the docker setup is easy, the lxc setup
|
|
is more involved.
|
|
|
|
LXC
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
LXC builds should be run on Ubuntu 18.04 "Bionic Beaver".
|
|
|
|
Note that a version of `lxc-execute` higher or equal to 2.1.1 is required.
|
|
You can check the version with `lxc-execute --version`.
|
|
|
|
First we need to set up dependencies. Type/paste the following in the terminal:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install git ruby apt-cacher-ng qemu-utils debootstrap lxc python-cheetah parted kpartx bridge-utils make ubuntu-archive-keyring curl firewalld
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then set up LXC and the rest with the following, which is a complex jumble of settings and workarounds:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo -s
|
|
# the version of lxc-start in Debian needs to run as root, so make sure
|
|
# that the build script can execute it without providing a password
|
|
echo "%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/lxc-start" > /etc/sudoers.d/gitian-lxc
|
|
echo "%sudo ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/lxc-execute" >> /etc/sudoers.d/gitian-lxc
|
|
# make /etc/rc.local script that sets up bridge between guest and host
|
|
echo '#!/bin/sh -e' > /etc/rc.local
|
|
echo 'brctl addbr br0' >> /etc/rc.local
|
|
echo 'ip addr add 10.0.3.1/24 broadcast 10.0.3.255 dev br0' >> /etc/rc.local
|
|
echo 'ip link set br0 up' >> /etc/rc.local
|
|
echo 'firewall-cmd --zone=trusted --add-interface=br0' >> /etc/rc.local
|
|
echo 'exit 0' >> /etc/rc.local
|
|
chmod +x /etc/rc.local
|
|
# make sure that USE_LXC is always set when logging in as gitianuser,
|
|
# and configure LXC IP addresses
|
|
echo 'export USE_LXC=1' >> /home/gitianuser/.profile
|
|
echo 'export GITIAN_HOST_IP=10.0.3.1' >> /home/gitianuser/.profile
|
|
echo 'export LXC_GUEST_IP=10.0.3.5' >> /home/gitianuser/.profile
|
|
reboot
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This setup is required to enable networking in the container.
|
|
|
|
Docker
|
|
------
|
|
|
|
Building in docker does not require much setup. Install docker on your host, then type the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
sudo apt-get install git make curl
|
|
sudo usermod -aG docker gitianuser
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
Manual and Building
|
|
-------------------
|
|
|
|
The instructions below use the automated script [gitian-build.py](gitian-build.py) which only works in Ubuntu.
|
|
It calls all available .yml descriptors, which in turn pass the build configurations for different platforms to gitian.
|
|
Help for the build steps taken can be accessed with `./gitian-build.py --help`.
|
|
|
|
Initial Gitian Setup
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
The `gitian-build.py` script will checkout different release tags, so it's best to copy it to the top level directory:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
cp monero/contrib/gitian/gitian-build.py .
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Setup the required environment, you only need to do this once:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./gitian-build.py --setup fluffypony v0.14.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Where `fluffypony` is your Github name and `v0.14.0` is the version tag you want to build.
|
|
If you are using docker, run it with:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./gitian-build.py --setup --docker fluffypony v0.14.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
While gitian and this build script does provide a way for you to sign the build directly, it is recommended to sign in a seperate step.
|
|
This script is only there for convenience. Seperate steps for building can still be taken.
|
|
In order to sign gitian builds on your host machine, which has your PGP key,
|
|
fork the gitian.sigs repository and clone it on your host machine,
|
|
or pass the signed assert file back to your build machine.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
git clone git@github.com:monero-project/gitian.sigs.git
|
|
git remote add fluffypony git@github.com:fluffypony/gitian.sigs.git
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Build Binaries
|
|
-----------------------------
|
|
To build the most recent tag (pass in `--docker` after setting up with docker):
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
./gitian-build.py --detach-sign --no-commit -b fluffypony v0.14.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
To speed up the build, use `-j 5 -m 5000` as the first arguments, where `5` is the number of CPU's you allocated to the VM plus one, and 5000 is a little bit less than then the MB's of RAM you allocated. If there is memory corruption on your machine, try to tweak these values.
|
|
|
|
If all went well, this produces a number of (uncommited) `.assert` files in the gitian.sigs repository.
|
|
|
|
If you do detached, offline signing, you need to copy these uncommited changes to your host machine, where you can sign them. For example:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
export NAME=fluffypony
|
|
export VERSION=v0.14.0
|
|
gpg --output $VERSION-linux/$NAME/monero-linux-$VERSION-build.assert.sig --detach-sign $VERSION-linux/$NAME/monero-linux-$VERSION-build.assert
|
|
gpg --output $VERSION-osx-unsigned/$NAME/monero-osx-$VERSION-build.assert.sig --detach-sign $VERSION-osx-unsigned/$NAME/monero-osx-$VERSION-build.assert
|
|
gpg --output $VERSION-win-unsigned/$NAME/monero-win-$VERSION-build.assert.sig --detach-sign $VERSION-win-unsigned/$NAME/monero-win-$VERSION-build.assert
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Make a pull request (both the `.assert` and `.assert.sig` files) to the
|
|
[monero-project/gitian.sigs](https://github.com/monero-project/gitian.sigs/) repository:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
git checkout -b v0.14.0
|
|
git commit -S -a -m "Add $NAME v0.14.0"
|
|
git push --set-upstream $NAME v0.14.0
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
gpg --detach-sign ${VERSION}-linux/${SIGNER}/monero-linux-*-build.assert
|
|
gpg --detach-sign ${VERSION}-win-unsigned/${SIGNER}/monero-win-*-build.assert
|
|
gpg --detach-sign ${VERSION}-osx-unsigned/${SIGNER}/monero-osx-*-build.assert
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
More Build Options
|
|
------------------
|
|
|
|
You can choose your own remote and commit hash by running for example:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./gitian-build.py --detach-sign --no-commit --url https://github.com/moneromooo-monero/bitmonero -b moneromooo 1f5680c8db8f4cc7acc04a04c724b832003440fd
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that you won't be able to build commits authored before the gitian scripts
|
|
were added. Gitian clones the source files from the given url, be sure to push
|
|
to the remote you provide before building.
|
|
To get all build options run:
|
|
```bash
|
|
./gitian-build.py --help
|
|
```
|
