For building on x86 with compatible 32-bit applications C/R support you will need <code>libc6-dev-i386, gcc-multilib</code> instead of <code>gcc</code> (only in criu-dev for now, kernel patching needed).

If you are cross compiling for ARM, use distribution packages or download prebuilt toolchains from Linaro.

=== Protocol Buffers ===

CRIU uses the [https://developers.google.com/protocol-buffers/ Google Protocol Buffers] to read and write [[images]] and thus requires [https://github.com/protobuf-c/protobuf-c C language bindings]. The <code>protoc</code> tool is required at build time and the <code>libprotobuf-c.so</code> shared object is required at build and run time. [[CRIT]] also uses python language bindings for protocol buffers and requires the <code>descriptor.proto</code> file typically provided by a distribution's protobuf development package.

==== Distribution Packages ====
  −
The easiest way is to install distribution packages.
  −
 
  −
* RPM package names
  −
** <code>group Development\ Tools</code>
  −
** <code>protobuf</code>
  −
** <code>protobuf-c</code>
  −
** <code>protobuf-c-devel</code>
  −
** <code>protobuf-compiler</code>
  −
** <code>protobuf-devel</code>
  −
** <code>protobuf-python</code>
  −
* Debian package names
  −
** <code>build-essential</code>
  −
** <code>libprotobuf-dev</code>
  −
** <code>libprotobuf-c0-dev</code>
  −
** <code>protobuf-c-compiler</code>
  −
** <code>protobuf-compiler</code>
  −
** <code>python-protobuf</code>
  −
* Ubuntu
  −
** The below will get your freshly installed Ubuntu host ready to compile criu. "--no-install-recommends" parameter is to avoid asciidoc pulling in a lot of dependencies.
  −
** sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends git build-essential libprotobuf-dev libprotobuf-c0-dev protobuf-c-compiler protobuf-compiler python-protobuf libnl-3-dev libpth-dev pkg-config libcap-dev asciidoc

==== Building Protocol Buffers From Source ====
  −
If you would like to build from source, you can use the following commands to obtain the source code repositories, configure, and build the code. On a Debian based system, you may have to install <code>autoconf curl g++ libtool</code> packages first.

== Linux Kernel ==
  −
 
  −
Linux kernel v3.11 or newer is required, with some specific options set. If your distribution does not provide needed kernel, you might want to compile one yourself.
  −
 
  −
=== Configuring the kernel ===
  −
 
  −
Most likely the first thing to enable is the <code>CONFIG_EXPERT=y</code> (General setup -> Configure standard kernel features (expert users)) option, which on x86_64 depends on the <code>CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y</code> (General setup -> Embedded system) one (welcome to Kconfig reverse chains hell).
  −
 
  −
The following options must be enabled for CRIU to work:
  −
 
  −
* ''General setup'' options
  −
** <code>CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE=y</code> (Checkpoint/restore support)
  −
** <code>CONFIG_NAMESPACES=y</code> (Namespaces support)
  −
** <code>CONFIG_UTS_NS=y</code> (Namespaces support -> UTS namespace)
  −
** <code>CONFIG_IPC_NS=y</code> (Namespaces support -> IPC namespace)
  −
** <code>CONFIG_PID_NS=y</code> (Namespaces support -> PID namespaces)
  −
** <code>CONFIG_NET_NS=y</code> (Namespaces support -> Network namespace)
  −
** <code>CONFIG_FHANDLE=y</code> (Open by fhandle syscalls)
  −
** <code>CONFIG_EVENTFD=y</code> (Enable eventfd() system call)
  −
** <code>CONFIG_EPOLL=y</code> (Enable eventpoll support)
  −
* ''Networking support -> Networking options'' options for sock-diag subsystem
  −
** <code>CONFIG_UNIX_DIAG=y</code> (Unix domain sockets -> UNIX: socket monitoring interface)
  −
** <code>CONFIG_INET_DIAG=y</code> (TCP/IP networking -> INET: socket monitoring interface)
  −
** <code>CONFIG_INET_UDP_DIAG=y</code> (TCP/IP networking -> INET: socket monitoring interface -> UDP: socket monitoring interface)
  −
** <code>CONFIG_PACKET_DIAG=y</code> (Packet socket -> Packet: sockets monitoring interface)
  −
** <code>CONFIG_NETLINK_DIAG=y</code> (Netlink socket -> Netlink: sockets monitoring interface)
  −
* Other options
  −
** <code>CONFIG_INOTIFY_USER=y</code> (File systems -> Inotify support for userspace)
  −
** <code>CONFIG_IA32_EMULATION=y</code> (x86 only) (Executable file formats -> Emulations -> IA32 Emulation)
  −
 
  −
For some [[usage scenarios]] there is an ability to track memory changes and produce [[incremental dumps]]. Need to enable the <code>CONFIG_MEM_SOFT_DIRTY=y</code> (optional) (Processor type and features -> Track memory changes).
  −
 
  −
Note we also have our [[custom kernel]], which might contain some experimental CRIU related patches.
  −
 
  −
== Building CRIU From Source ==
  −
 
  −
=== Native Compilation ===
  −
Simply run <code>make</code> in the CRIU source directory.
  −
 
  −
=== Compilation in Docker container ===
  −
 
  −
There's a ''docker-build'' target in Makefile which builds CRIU in Ubuntu Docker container. Just run <code>make docker-build</code> and that's it.

=== Configuration ===

Simply run <code>make</code> in the CRIU source directory. This is the standard way, but there are some options available.
   −
''Main article: [[Configuring]]''
+
# There's a ''docker-build'' target in Makefile which builds CRIU in Ubuntu Docker container. Just run <code>make docker-build</code> and that's it.
 +
# CRIU has functionality that is either optional or behaves differently depending on the kernel CRIU is running on. By default build process includes maximum of it, but this behavior [[configuring|can be changed]].

# You may [[Manual build deps|specify build dependencies by hands]]

CRIU works perfectly even when run from the sources directory (with the "./criu" command), but if you want to have in standard paths run <code>make install</code>.

CRIU works perfectly even when run from the sources directory (with the <code>./criu/criu</code> command), but if you want to have in standard paths run <code>make install</code>. You may need to install <code>asciidoc</code> and <code>xmlto</code> packages to make install-man work.

First thing to do is to run <code>criu check</code>. At the end it should say "Looks OK", if it doesn't the messages on the screen explain what functionality is missing.

Linux kernel v3.11 or newer is required, with some specific config options turned on. Various advanced CRIU features might require even newer kernel.  So the first thing to do is to [[Checking the kernel|check the kernel]] by running <code>criu check</code>. At the end it should say "Looks OK", if it doesn't the messages on the screen explain what functionality is missing. If your distribution does not provide needed kernel, you might want to [[Linux kernel|compile one yourself]].
 
  −
Some kernel functionality is required in rare cases and may not block the dump (but sometimes may). These features can be checked by adding the <code>--extra</code> flag.
  −
 
  −
If you're using our custom kernel, then the <code>--all</code> option can be used, in this case CRIU would check for ''all'' the kernel features to work.
      
You can then try running the [[ZDTM Test Suite]] which sits in the <code>tests/zdtm/</code> directory.
