In order to keep final docker image small, my usual approach to building python projects with binary dependencies is to build the pinned dependencies in a first stage and copy them to a final stage...

There are often many swiches to enable/disable when trying to build a project that uses CMake. How do you store the build settings made by some user to make a build reproduceable on another machin...

Roslyn gave us deterministic builds a few years ago. And with the addition of NuGet lock files, we can finally have guaranteed reproducible build. I'm looking at the docs that say I can opt-in with...

At $DAYJOB, I am trying to implement reproducible builds to make debugging released software where we no longer have the full debug versions on our build servers easier, using the tips from reprodu...

In my experience, recompiling the source code for the same Android application won't produce the same binary every time. A reproducible build is very useful for developers, but I think the most imp...

I have a program under version control that has gone through multiple releases. A situation came up today where someone had somehow managed to point to an old copy of the program and thus was encou...

I need to ship a compiled version of a python script and be able to prove (using a hash) that the compiled file is indeed the same as the original one. What we use so far is a simple: find . -nam...

My employer has a business need to make Java builds byte-for-byte reproducible. I am aware of the difficulties in making JAR files reproducible (due to archiving order and time stamps), but at this...

I need to compare 2 executables and/or shared objects, compiled using the same compiler/flags and verify that they have not changed. We work in a regulated environment, so it would be really useful...

I'm using a build script to compile several C# projects. The binary output is copied to a result folder, overwriting the previous version of the files, and then added/committed to subversion. I no...

We have some shared assemblies that get build automatically every night. When there are no changes made to the sources, i would expect the assembly binaries to be exactly the same as a previous ver...

I created two C programs Program 1 int main() { } Program 2 int main() { //Some Harmless comments } AFAIK, when compiling, the compiler(gcc) should ignore the comments and redundant whitepa...

Does anyone know of a way to compare two .NET assemblies to determine whether they were built from the "same" source files? I am aware that there are some differencing utilities available, such as...

I'm searching if it's possible to build the same Linux Kerneltwice (same sources, same environment, same options, same compiler) and get the same checksum. Anybody knows how to do so?

I'll give you a little bit of background first as to why I'm asking this question: I am currently working in a stricly-regulated industry and as such our code is quite carefully looked-over by off...

My team and I are developing a VC++ 6 project. We are all using the same code-base (using version control system), and all our compiler/linker/environment-settings (including include directories or...

For the purposes of binary / source code verification, i'd like to be able to make two compiles on the same computer 2 weeks apart and have the binaries be identical and thus pass some checksum tes...

Is there a way to force the same code to produce the same binary in Visual C++? Turn off the timestamp in the PE or force the timestamp in the PE to be some fixed value, in other words?

Every time we recompile our C# application we end up with EXEs with different MD5 signatures. We are recompiling on the same machine, minutes apart. Why doesn't the same source-code yield the same ...

When I build a project using a c++ compiler, can I make sure that the produced binary is not affected if there were no changes in source code? It looks like everytime I recompile my source, the bin...
