Building calicoctl

Non-release build

To do a quick, non-release build of calicoctl, suitable for local testing, run

make bin/calicoctl

The binary will be put in ./bin:

./bin/calicoctl --help

Release build

For releases, we use a Docker-based build to ensure a clean environment with an appropriate glibc. Specifically, we use a CentOS 6.6 container image to build against glibc v2.12. this ensures compatibility with any later glibc.

To do a release build, run:

make release/calicoctl

The binary will be emitted to ./releases/calicoctl-<version>
