I think shipping around a docker container will help make contributing easier:

  • by removing the need to manually add support to each distribution: we'd only have to support Debian.
  • help people whose computers aren't as powerful by allowing them to avoid compiling the toolchain. They'd only need to download the container.
  • avoid cluttering the user's machine by keeping all of the dependencies separate

The Synopsys tools don't work in Debian

I like this PR, I also like things that make life easy, but our target at the moment is RHEL/Centos distributions.

Sure, it won’t be too much work to switch to a RHEL-based container. I’ll try to amend this PR tonight.

"It won't be too much work" - famous last words :)
I was able to get all the regression tests to pass with this Dockerfile, this time it's CentOS-based.
