Docker Build Instructions (Recommended)

Build

ARM64 (native Apple Silicon — recommended, ~5 min):

docker build --platform linux/arm64 -t dreal/my_dreal_image:arm64 -f Dockerfile.dreal_ubuntu .

x86_64 (emulated on Apple Silicon — slower, ~15 min):

docker build --platform linux/amd64 -t dreal/my_dreal_image:1.0 -f Dockerfile.dreal_ubuntu .

Note: If you see "Bad file descriptor" errors during build, add --jobs 1 to the cmake build commands (Docker on macOS filesystem bug with parallel builds).

Execute

cat YOUR_QUERY.smt2 | docker run --platform linux/arm64 --rm -i dreal/my_dreal_image:arm64 ./dreal4 --in --model
cat YOUR_QUERY.smt2 | docker run --platform linux/amd64 --rm -i dreal/my_dreal_image:1.0  ./dreal4 --in --model

Native Build Instructions (macOS / Linux)

macOS (ARM64 or x86_64)

Install dependencies via Homebrew:

brew install bison flex gmp cadical cmake

Then build:

./FULL_BUILD.sh        # first build (creates gcc_build/)
./BUILD.sh             # subsequent builds

The binary is at gcc_build/dreal4. CMakeLists.txt auto-detects Homebrew paths.

Linux (Ubuntu 24.04 / noble)

Install dependencies:

apt-get install -y clang cmake git bison flex libgmp-dev

Build CaDiCaL 3.0.0 from source (not yet packaged on Ubuntu):

git clone --branch rel-3.0.0 https://github.com/arminbiere/cadical
cd cadical && ./configure && make -j8
mkdir include lib && cp src/cadical.hpp include/ && cp build/libcadical.a lib/
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$PWD:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH"

Then build dreal4:

./FULL_BUILD.sh

On other Linux distros, set up equivalent dependencies and run ./FULL_BUILD.sh.
