# Build the TelAF simulation in the develop docker container 

Source: [https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-41102-1/topic/build-the-telaf-simulation-in-the-docker-container.html](https://docs.qualcomm.com/doc/80-41102-1/topic/build-the-telaf-simulation-in-the-docker-container.html)

Compile the TelAF simulation project in your own dev HOST PC. It's okay for a development
            environment after following the setup steps.

However, it's recommended to do the compilation in the TelAF develop container. This
            ensures the environment is consistent.

Two files can be used to simplify the compilation steps:

1. simulation/.simulation.build
2. simulation/workstation/.simula.dev.action.sh

The simulation/.simulation.build file includes
                `make-syntax` to enable different options for compilation.

For example:

    # Content in simulation/.simulation.build
    export TELAF_SIMULATION_ENABLE_DCS = y
    export TELAF_SIMULATION_ENABLE_SIM = y
    export TELAF_SIMULATION_ENABLE_ECALL = yCopy to clipboard

It's the same as the following command, however, this command isn't
            recommended:

    make simula-c \
    TELAF_SIMULATION_ENABLE_DCS=y \
    TELAF_SIMULATION_ENABLE_SIM=y \
    TELAF_SIMULATION_ENABLE_ECALL=yCopy to clipboard

The simulation/workstation/.simula.dev.action.sh file includes shell
            commands for shell scripts in the develop container.

For example:

    # Content in simulation/workstation/.simula.dev.action.sh
     
    make simula-cCopy to clipboard

To build the TelAF simulation project, use the following commands:

    cd simulation_env/telaf
     
    # create and modify the simulation/.simulation.build as you want
    # example:
    cat >> simulation/.simulation.build << EOF
    export TELAF_SIMULATION_ENABLE_DCS = y
    export TELAF_SIMULATION_ENABLE_SIM = y
    export TELAF_SIMULATION_ENABLE_ECALL = y 
    EOF
     
    # create and modify the simulation/workstation/.simula.dev.action.sh as you want
    # example:
    echo "make simula-c" > simulation/workstation/.simula.dev.action.sh
     
    # build
    make simula-xCopy to clipboard

Check the simulaiton.sdef file located under the
                telaf-simulation directory. This file includes the current
            configuration settings. Review it to ensure you have the latest information about
            supported features.
