SDL2 Basic Docker Setup

Build sdl2 program in docker image with cmake, run locally in arch-based os.

Quick Start

• Compile stuff in the docker container:

  docker compose up --build
  

  • This creates a build-dir directory, runs cmake to configure the build, then runs make to perform the build.
  • The compiled file will be in ./build-dir/SDL2Test

• Run the compiled program locally:

  ./build-dir/SDL2Test
  

• Enter the container to do stuff

  docker compose run compiler bash
  

• Clean up build-dir and build artifacts:

  sudo rm -rf build-dir
  

• Clean up docker container and network:

  docker compose down
