I am trying to build the docker-compose container from source. Ultimately I want two of these containers, one for x86_64 and one for an arm arch. I see that I can get the x86 compatible container with this script https://github.com/docker/compose/releases/download/1.25.5/run.sh, but I need to be able to build from source. I have cloned the compose repository and have tried two things, first just trying to build with the Dockerfile in the repo. The result:
>docker build -t docker-compose .
Sending build context to Docker daemon 1.872 MB
Step 1/39 : ARG DOCKER_VERSION=19.03.8

I was then looking at the build scripts in script/build and tried executing the linux build script.
> script/build/linux
+ ./script/clean
++ script/build/write-git-sha
+ DOCKER_COMPOSE_GITSHA=9c5351cf
+ TAG=docker/compose:tmp-glibc-linux-binary-9c5351cf
+ docker build -t docker/compose:tmp-glibc-linux-binary-9c5351cf . --build-arg BUILD_PLATFORM=debian --build-arg GIT_COMMIT=9c5351cf

I'm stuck here. My plan for the arm container is to use the linux build script but swap the ARCH to my arm architecture. Any help would be appreciated
I will answer this question if anyone happens upon it, because I have solve it. The issue was with my docker-version. You need an up to date docker version, and then clone the docker-compose repo and do docker build like shown above. To build an ARM version I had to make an ARM emulator with Qemu and do the same steps there.
