Linux compile on Debian 6. #1
Conversation
We used to compile on a recent ubuntu version, which is needed for cross-compiling to Windows and OS X. This poses the problem that it links against a relatively recent version of libc, so the resulting binary cannot work on older linux distributions. To work around this issue we tried to compile statically linked binaries. Unfortunately, statically linking against libc breaks in part the name resolution, in particular resolving the names from /etc/hosts. This pull requests makes 2 Docker images: one based on ubuntu for cross compiling to os x and windows and one based on debian 6 for compiling for Linux (both 32 and 64 bits versions). Libpcap continues to be statically linked for Linux. Because the Dockerfiles have drifted quite a bit from the versions from XGO, I moved them to this repository. This closes elastic/beats#225.

Should we move this image to elastic/xog-deb6-1.4.2?

I don't think the 'elastic' namespace on docker hub is ours :-(

At least I don't know this guy: https://hub.docker.com/r/elastic/ I doesn't look like he needs it. Should we ask him?

@electrical How did you do it in the past, did you use your personal account for hub.docker.com images?

I'm currently using my personal account indeed.
I'm hoping we will have an internal docker registry at some point for these kind of things

There are quite a few things commented out in the code. Not sure if you want to remove it or keep it in for the moment. |

@ruflin, regarding the comments, the build.sh file from xgo-image and xgo-image-deb6 have a lot of code duplication between them. I'm thinking on how to reduce that, but I prefer to do it in another PR. I'll get rid of the commented out blocks then. |

Could you add --rm=true to the build commands? this will remove the intermediate containers after a good build to save diskspace.

need to run 'make deps' and 'make xgo-image' before make will work. without running 'make xgo-image' did try to download the image for me. We might want to add some notes about building the image in the Readme or have a dependency on xgo-image in default target |
