Build environment

When building the application each command is run in a separate sandbox with access to only the things required for it. This section describes the details of the sandbox. Any options here can be overridden globally or per-module with the build-args option (although such manifest will not work if you start flatpak-builder with --sandbox). -

Filesystem

Filesystem

Each module is built in its own build directory, stored in a sub directory called build/$modulename-$count in the state dir (which is typically .flatpak-builder/). Additionally there is a symlink build/$modulename to the latest version. @@ -473,13 +474,13 @@

Additionally the there will be (as needed, depending on what is building) read-only mounts of the sdk at /usr, sdk extensions below that, and the application at /app. No other filesystem access is available. -

Environment

Environment

The environment can be modified in several ways in the manifest, but the default values are: -

FLATPAK_ID

The id of the application currently building.

FLATPAK_ARCH

The architecture currently building.

FLATPAK_DEST

The path to where the current build should install into. This is /app for application builds.

FLATPAK_BUILDER_N_JOBS

The number of jobs that flatpak-builder would normally use for make -j. Defaults to ncpus unless the module disabled parallel make.

FLATPAK_BUILDER_BUILDDIR

The path to the build directory of the module currently building. This is normally /run/build/$MODULE.

PATH

/app/bin:/usr/bin

LD_LIBRARY_PATH

/app/lib

PKG_CONFIG_PATH

/app/lib/pkgconfig:/app/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig

ACLOCAL_PATH

/app/share/aclocal

Permissions

Builds have the --allow=devel and --allow=multiarch permissions that regular flatpak runs don't have by default. This limits the syscall filtering that is normally done so development tools like debuggers work. Otherwise the build sandbox is very limited, for example there is no network access. -
