This is not a complete, comprehensive guide, but it is meant to be a start in the right direction.
From the memcached working directory (where ever you cloned the repo):
$ docker run -it -v "$PWD:/memcached" --name "memcache-dev" ubuntu:artful bash
This creates a container named "memcache-dev" based on the artful tag of the ubuntu image from hub.docker.com.
To stop the container, simply exit the bash shell the first time.
To restart the container: $ docker start memcache-dev
To start a shell in the container: $ docker exec -it memcache-dev bash
To stop the container normally: $ docker stop memcache-dev
To remove the container permanently: $ docker rm -v memcache-dev
From within the container the code is mounted at /memcached:
root@04eb3d457d46:/# cd /memcached/
root@04eb3d457d46:/memcached#
We need a few packages installed:
root@04eb3d457d46:/memcached# apt-get update
[...]
root@04eb3d457d46:/memcached# apt-get install make git autotools-dev automake gcc libevent-dev
[...]
Now run the memcached configury type stuff (can you tell I'm not a C programmer?):
root@04eb3d457d46:/memcached# ./autogen.sh
[...]
root@04eb3d457d46:/memcached# ./configure
make and make test should now both work:
root@04eb3d457d46:/memcached# make && make test
make all-recursive
make[1]: Entering directory '/memcached'
Making all in doc
make[2]: Entering directory '/memcached/doc'
make all-am
make[3]: Entering directory '/memcached/doc'
make[3]: Nothing to be done for 'all-am'.
