Proton (sniper) SDK
|
|
====================
|
|
|
|
These are the build rules that are used to create docker images to build
|
|
Proton. The automated creation of the official images lives in
|
|
<https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/proton/sniper/sdk>, but this can be
|
|
used to create local images too.
|
|
|
|
Local usage
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
The `protonsdk_version` make variable will override which image is used
|
|
to build Proton, but may not trigger a full rebuild, so building from
|
|
scratch may be necessary.
|
|
|
|
Building Proton with a locally build docker image, instead of using the
|
|
official images, can be done by using `protonsdk_version=local`. This
|
|
may be used for instance to test changes to the docker image recipes.
|
|
|
|
Or, it is also possible to build the docker images first by invoking
|
|
`make protonsdk` and it will tag the images with the `protonsdk_version`
|
|
variable value.
|
|
|
|
Official images
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
To update the official Proton SDK images:
|
|
|
|
1) Update the image build rules, `STEAMRT_VERSION` and
|
|
`PROTONSDK_VERSION` version numbers in this folder, test locally,
|
|
commit and push the changes.
|
|
|
|
2) Update `.gitlab-ci.yml` in the
|
|
[Proton SDK](https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/proton/sniper/sdk)
|
|
repository to point to the new commit, commit and push to trigger a
|
|
new build of "-dev" images.
|
|
|
|
3) Once the images are satisfying, tag the version in Proton SDK
|
|
repository and push the tag, this will trigger a new build of the
|
|
images and version them with the same tag as the Git tag.
|
|
|
|
4) Once the images have been published, update the default
|
|
`arg_protonsdk_image` version number in `configure.sh` to use the
|
|
newly built images by default.
|
|
|
|
Any change or addition to GPL-ed source first requires to update or add
|
|
the corresponding source to <https://repo.steampowered.com/proton-sdk>.
|
|
The `SOURCES_URLBASE` variable must be used to download the sources
|
|
from there, and its sha256 must be added to validate the sources in the
|
|
same way the existing code does.
|
|
|
|
Technical details
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The images are built incrementally, with intermediate images created
|
|
for each component of the toolchain, then assembled together in a single
|
|
`proton` image.
|
|
|
|
The reason behind this is to optimize the use of docker cache, so that
|
|
components that didn't change do not require to be rebuilt every time,
|
|
saving a lot of time in the build process, when only small additions are
|
|
made.
|
|
|
|
It also lets us build several components of the toolchain separately,
|
|
in parallel. This is especially the case when building the images on
|
|
the <https://gitlab.steamos.cloud> CI.
|
|
|
|
Because the `ARG` parameter in Dockerfile doesn't behave nicely with
|
|
docker caches it is avoided, and `Dockerfile.in` are used with variable
|
|
replacements done using `sed`.
|
|
|
|
The <https://gitlab.steamos.cloud> CI uses Kaniko instead of Docker,
|
|
with a bit of script conversion to generate commands usable there. More
|
|
details are available in
|
|
[Proton SDK](https://gitlab.steamos.cloud/proton/sniper/sdk).
|
|
|
|
The `build-base` images are there to create a common ground to build the
|
|
other elements of the toolchain. They are based on fairly recent (more
|
|
than what `steamrt` provides), but they are only used temporarily to
|
|
build a static version of the Binutils, MinGW and GCC binaries, which
|
|
are then copied over the `steamrt` base image.
