TuxMake, by [Linaro](https://www.linaro.org/), is a command line tool and
Python library that provides portable and repeatable Linux kernel builds across
a variety of architectures, toolchains, kernel configurations, and make
targets.
[[_TOC_]]
# About TuxMake
Building Linux is easy, right? You just run "make defconfig; make"!
It gets complicated when you want to support the following combinations:
- Architectures (arc, arm, arm64, i386, mips, parisc, powerpc, riscv, s390, sh,
sparc, x86_64, etc)
- Toolchains (gcc-8, gcc-9, gcc-10, clang-10, clang-11, clang-nightly, etc)
- Configurations (defconfig, distro configs, allmodconfigs, randconfig, etc)
- Targets (kernel image, documentation, selftests, perf, cpupower, etc)
- Build-time validation (coccinelle, sparse checker, etc)
Each of those items requires specific configuration, and supporting all
combinations is difficult. TuxMake seeks to simplify Linux kernel building by
providing a consistent command line interface to each of those combinations
listed above. You specify what to build at the command line, and TuxMake drives
the build for you, doing the same steps the same way every time.
The real power comes from using TuxMake's curated, portable build environments
distributed as Docker/Podman [container
images]((https://hub.docker.com/u/tuxmake)). When using these versioned and
hermetic filesystem images, your team can use the same exact toolchain(s)
across different workstation platforms. Reporting and reproducing build
failures is trivial by sharing TuxMake command lines with others.
# Installing TuxMake
## Using pip
TuxMake requires Python version 3, and is available using pip.
To install TuxMake on your system globally:
```
sudo pip3 install -U tuxmake
```
To install tuxbuild to your home directory at ~/.local/bin:
```
pip3 install -U --user tuxmake
```
To upgrade TuxMake to the latest version, run the same command you ran to
install it.
## Running TuxMake From Source
If you don't want to or can't install TuxMake, you can run it directly from the
source directory. After getting the sources via git or something else, there is
a `run` script that will do the right think for you: you can either use that
script, or symlink it to a directory in your `PATH`.
```
/path/to/tuxmake/run --help
sudo ln -s /path/to/tuxmake/run /usr/local/bin/tuxmake && tuxmake --help
```
# Using TuxMake
To use TuxMake, navigate to a Linux source tree (where you might usually run
`make`), and run `tuxmake`. By default, it will perform a defconfig build on
your native architecture, using a default compiler (`gcc`).
The behavior of the build can be modified with command-line arguments. Run
`tuxmake --help` to see all command-line arguments.
# Examples
Build from current directory:
$ tuxmake
Build using Podman:
$ tuxmake --runtime podman
Build from specific directory:
$ tuxmake --directory /path/to/linux
Build an arm64 kernel:
$ tuxmake --target-arch=arm64
Build an arm64 kernel with gcc-10:
$ tuxmake --target-arch=arm64 --toolchain=gcc-10
Build an arm64 kernel with clang-10:
$ tuxmake --target-arch=arm64 --toolchain=clang-10
Build tinyconfig on arm64 with gcc-9:
$ tuxmake -a arm64 -t gcc-9 -k tinyconfig
Build defconfig with additional config from file:
$ tuxmake --kconfig-add /path/to/my.config
Build defconfig with additional config from URL:
$ tuxmake --kconfig-add https://foo.com/my.config
Build defconfig with additional in-tree config:
$ tuxmake --kconfig-add kvm_guest.config
Build defconfig with additional inline config:
$ tuxmake --kconfig-add CONFIG_KVM_GUEST=y
Build tinyconfig on arm64 with gcc-9 using docker:
$ tuxmake -r docker -a arm64 -t gcc-9 -k tinyconfig
Build DTBs on arm64 using podman:
$ tuxmake -r podman -a arm64 -t gcc-9 dtbs
Incremental builds can be done by reusing a build directory:
$ tuxmake --build-dir=/path/to/output
# hack on source ...
$ tuxmake --build-dir=/path/to/output
# only rebuilds what is needed
Display all options:
$ tuxmake --help

community).
