VOLUME /slides-cpp
WORKDIR /slides-cpp/sample/

CMD ./build_sample.sh

The file contains three main parts (procedures):

Installing the tools required to run Aspose.Slides for C++:

FROM ubuntu:16.04

RUN apt-get update && apt-get install software-properties-common -y \
 && add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test \
 && apt-get update && apt-get upgrade libstdc++6 -y --no-install-recommends\
 && apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends  \
    unzip \
    cmake \
    make \
    clang-3.9 \
    gcc-6 \
    g++-6 \
    fontconfig \
    libglu1-mesa \ 
 && update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang   clang   /usr/bin/clang-3.9 30 \
 && update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/clang++ clang++ /usr/bin/clang++-3.9 30 \
 && update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cc  cc  /usr/bin/clang-3.9 40 \
 && update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/c++ c++ /usr/bin/clang++-3.9 40 \
 && update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/gcc gcc /usr/bin/gcc-6 30 \
 && update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/g++ g++ /usr/bin/g++-6 30 \
 && update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/cc  cc  /usr/bin/gcc-6 30 \
 && update-alternatives --install /usr/bin/c++ c++ /usr/bin/g++-6 30

Installing the msttcorefonts package (by default, the msttcorefonts package EULA isn’t accepted):

ARG accept_msttcorefonts_eula=false

ARG DEBIAN_FRONTEND=teletype
RUN apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends apt-transport-https debconf-utils
RUN echo msttcorefonts msttcorefonts/accepted-mscorefonts-eula select $accept_msttcorefonts_eula | \
    debconf-set-selections
RUN apt-get install -y msttcorefonts \
 && fc-cache -f -v

Declaring the /slides-cpp folder as a mounting point to provide access to the slides-cpp sources folder on the host machine; Building and running examples:

VOLUME /slides-cpp
WORKDIR /slides-cpp/sample/

CMD ./build_sample.sh

Building and Running an Image

Install Docker on a host system.
Build an image.

A terminal working directory should contain a file Dockerfile with the content above.

docker build -t aspose-slides-ubuntu-16.04 .

Download and unzip Aspose.Slides for C++ YY.M Linux.
Share the folder with Aspose.Slides for C++ to allow Docker use it:
- In Windows, right-click the Docker icon on your taskbar. Select Settings.
- Go through Resources > File Sharing.
Run the image as a container through either of these methods:

Method A: create and execute a named container:

docker run --name slides-cpp-ubuntu -v d:\aspose-slides-cpp-linux-20.6:/slides-cpp aspose-slides-ubuntu-16.04

For the second and subsequent launches, you have to use:

docker start slides-cpp-ubuntu -i

Method B: create and execute an unnamed temporary container:

docker run --rm -v d:\aspose-slides-cpp-linux-20.6:/slides-cpp aspose-slides-ubuntu-16.04

You will see the build and execution of the sample project:
