Native desktop

This sample produces an image that installs native C/C++ support only. It installs the core VC Tools workload with recommended components that include CMake and the Windows SDK. See our documentation for additional workloads and components you can use.

We start from the microsoft/dotnet-framework:3.5-sdk-windowsservercore-1709 base image for consistency with the managed-native-desktop sample. We use RS3 because the same image can be used on Windows Server 2016 nodes that do not yet support RS4 containers.

Building

To build this image from this directory, run:

docker build -t buildtools2022native:latest -m 2GB .

Running

To map and build native sources from a clean source repository, run:

docker run -m 2G -v %CD%:C:\src buildtools2022native:latest --name Solution msbuild /m c:\src\Solution.sln

You can optionally pass specific configurations to build as well.

docker run -m 2G -v %CD%:C:\src buildtools2022native:latest --name Solution msbuild /m c:\src\Solution.sln /p:Configuration=Debug /p:Platform=x64

To build again run the container created in the previous step, e.g.

docker start -a Solution

You can omit the -a that attaches the container to view the output if desired.

Issues

  • If the repository is not clean and the mapped directory is not on the same drive or the same path as the host directory, native project builds will fail with a front-end compiler error.
  • The compile flag /CI causes a compiler error when used in a container. In your project properties under C/C++ change Debug Information Format to C7 compatible when building in a container.
