[Release] Docker KallistiOS SDK for Linux

Post by Nold »

Hi everyone,

today I've finished my KOS Docker Image. It's basically the easiest/fastest way to get a full precompiled KOS SDK up & running on Linux. It also includes a set of additional dreamcast related tools and scripts!
  • Docker image overview:
  • Based on Debian "Jessie"
  • Latest KallisiOS 2.0.0 Toolchain + KOS-Ported Libraries
  • Latest mksdiso Toolkit (includes mksdiso, scramble, cdirip, binhack32/64, isofix, burncdi, makeip - all build from source!)
  • mds4dc & cdi4dc for Image creation (source)
  • makeip for custom IP.BIN creation (mksdiso)
I've also created a wrapper-script called "dcbuild" which handles some development tasks for you!
Here is a short demo of the "main"-features of this toolkit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yjm4iSrerM0
You'll find all additional information on Github
Everything is free to use, modify & share. And every custom binary in this Docker image is compiled from source :)


Docker Image: https://hub.docker.com/r/nold360/kallistios-sdk/

Installation:
All you need is a linux host that runs docker. See the docker website how to.

Than simply run the container, inside of you project directory:

Code: Select all

 ~/my_project $ docker run -ti -v $(pwd):/src nold360/kallisios-sdk make
To install dcbuild (and kallisios-sdk-image), download & install it into PATH:

Code: Select all

$ sudo wget -O/usr/local/bin/dcbuild https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nold360/docker-kallistios-sdk/master/dcbuild.sh && sudo chmod +x /usr/local/bin/dcbuild


Hope it might be usefull for someone.. the only thing I still need to run using wine, now is nullDC :wink:

My only concern with any such pre-made images would be the issue of keeping them up-to-date. I mean, KOS 2.0.0 is pretty old at this point (most people tend to follow the Git repo (probably), especially after how long it was between 1.2.0 and 2.0.0).

But hey, it makes it easier to get ones feet wet with Dreamcast development, so to speak, so good job. :)
