Building Redox using Docker images with the toolchain

All you need is git, make, qemu, fuse and docker. The method requires a non-privileged user able to run the docker command, which is usually achieved by adding the user to the docker group.

git clone https://github.com/redox-os/redox.git ; cd redox #1
make pull #2
docker build -t redox docker/ #3
docker run --cap-add MKNOD --cap-add SYS_ADMIN \
    --device /dev/fuse -e LOCAL_USER_ID="$(id -u)" \
    -v "$(pwd):/src" --rm redox make all #4
make qemu #5

To unpack:

1. Creates a local copy of the repository.
2. Updates all the submodules in the repository.
3. Creates a new image in the local image repository named redox with Redox toolchain installed. You only need to rebuild the image if you want to update the toolchain.
4. Builds Redox using the redox image. The arguments allow the container to use fuse and ensure the resulting files are owned by the current user.
5. Runs Redox.
