Multi-platform builds — Multi-platform Neovim build using Docker Build Cloud

This example demonstrates how run a multi-platform build using Docker Build Cloud to compile and export Neovim binaries for the linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 platforms.

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). This example demonstrates how run a multi-platform build using Docker Build Cloud to compile and export Neovim binaries for the linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 platforms. Docker Build Cloud provides managed multi-node builders that support native multi-platform builds without the need for emulation, making it much faster to do CPU-intensive tasks like compilation. You've signed up for Docker Build Cloud and created a builder Create an empty directory and navigate to it Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ mkdir docker-build-neovim $ cd docker-build-neovim ``` Create a Dockerfile that builds Neovim. Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```dockerfile # syntax=docker/dockerfile:1 FROM debian:bookworm AS build WORKDIR /work RUN --mount=type=cache,target=/var/cache/apt,sharing=locked \ --mount=type=cache,target=/var/lib/apt,sharing=locked \ apt-get update && apt-get install -y \ build-essential \ cmake \ curl \ gettext \ ninja-build \ unzip ADD https://github.com/neovim/neovim.git#stable . RUN make CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo FROM scratch COPY --from=build /work/build/bin/nvim / ``` Build the image for linux/amd64 and linux/arm64 using Docker Build Cloud Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ docker build \ --builder <cloud-builder> \ --platform linux/amd64,linux/arm64 \ --output ./bin . ``` This command builds the image using the cloud builder and exports the binaries to the bin directory. Verify that the binaries are built for both platforms. You should see the nvim binary for both linux/amd64 and linux/arm64. Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```console $ tree ./bin ./bin ├── linux_amd64 │   └── nvim └── linux_arm64 └── nvim 3 directories, 2 files ``` Attribution: Adapted from Docker Documentation under Apache-2.0.
