I created a Dockerfie with all the dependencies, but I used Ubuntu 16.04 as base... so, I should compile with an older glib...<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Pablo,<br>
<br>
Good questions -- C++ ITK/VTK/Qt package development on GitHub CI<br>
services is non-trivial.<br>
<br>
A common issue is timeout's, and a strategy is to use pre-built<br>
binaries of ITK/VTK/Qt.<br>
<br>
<br>
Regarding Linux package development, CircleCI is recommended with a<br>
custom Docker image that has ITK / VTK / Qt pre-built. Since glibc is<br>
forward compatible but not backwards compatible, a base image that<br>
uses the oldest version of glibc will generate the most compatible<br>
image. For many projects, we use CentOS 5 with a newer GCC, but I<br>
think only Qt4 can be built with this and not Qt5.<br>
<br>
The build can be generated on one Linux Docker image for glibc<br>
purposes and tested on another that provides the graphical context.<br>
See the CommonTK AppLauncher configuration as an example [1]. This<br>
uses the thewtex/opengl Docker image [2] to provide a portable,<br>
reproducible, CPU-based graphical testing environment [2].<br>
<br>
The CTK AppLauncher is also of interest as an alternative to<br>
windowsqtdeploy, etc. It is cross-platform, and provides the setup to<br>
use shared libraries and avoid Qt LGPL licensing issues.<br>
<br>
<br>
For Windows builds, the dockcross/windows-x64 (uses MXE/MinGW-x64)<br>
image could work nicely. A derived image that builds the MXE packages<br>
for ITK / VTK / Qt could be created [3]. Since dockcross also comes<br>
with WINE for testing, it may also be possible to use thewtex/opengl<br>
for testing on CircleCI (although I have never tried this).<br>
<br>
<br>
For macOS builds, TravisCI has Homebrew installed on their images, and<br>
ITK / VTK / Qt can be installed via Homebrew [4].<br>
<br>
<br>
HTH,<br>
