Problem with RHEL 5.5 compilation on Windows Host (Docker)

I have a 64 bit Windows host machine, I have installed WSL (Debian), then docker, and then I'm trying to compile a Qt project on a Red Hat Linux 5.5 32 bit container(sharing a host directory with the code), but... doing the QMake...

/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4.8.3/bin/qmake MYFILE.pro -spec linux-g++ -r CONFIG+=debug

I get:

QFSFileEngine::currentPath: stat(".") failed

And I can't continue my build. (The same qmake command works on a rhel5.5 virtual machine, it´s a container problem)

I launch the docker like this:

docker run -it -v E:\codeRepo:/root/codeRepo rhl55 sh /root/codeRepo/00-scripts/make/makeScript.sh
Solution

  • I found a solution.

    It's a filesystem problem. I moved "E:\codeRepo" to "\\wsl$\Debian\codeRepo" (WSL filesystem as a network drive in windows) and it works.

    Now i'm sharing with the docker an ext4 folder and there is no problem with QMake.

    So, this doesn't works:

    docker run -it -v E:\codeRepo:/root/codeRepo rhl55 sh /root/codeRepo/00-scripts/make/makeScript.sh

    But this works:

    docker run -it -v \\wsl$\Debian\codeRepo:/root/codeRepo rhl55 sh /root/codeRepo/00-scripts/make/makeScript.sh
