## Issue Addressed Closes #1395 ## Proposed Changes * Add a feature to `lighthouse` and `lcli` called `portable` which enables the `portable` feature on our fork of BLST. This feature turns off the `-march=native` C compiler flag that produces binaries highly targeted to the host CPU's instruction set. * Tweak the `Makefile` so that when the `PORTABLE` environment variable is set to `true`, it compiles with this feature. * Temporarily enable `PORTABLE=true` in the Docker build so that the image on Docker Hub is portable. Eventually I think we should enable `PORTABLE=true` _only on Docker Hub_, so that users building locally can take advantage of the tasty compiler magic. This seems to be possible by setting a Docker Hub environment variable: https://docs.docker.com/docker-hub/builds/#environment-variables-for-builds ## Additional Info Tested by compiling on a very new CPU (Intel Core i7-8550U) and copying the binary to a very old CPU (Intel Core i3 530). Before the portability fix, this produced the SIGILL crash described in #1395, and after the fix, it worked smoothly. I'm in the process of testing the Docker build and running some benches to confirm that the performance penalty isn't too severe. |

Lighthouse Book
Contains an mdBook that serves as the primary source of Lighthouse user documentation.
The book is hosted at lighthouse-book.sigmaprime.io
Usage
The mdBook docs are the best source of information for building the book.
Example
- Install mdBook:
$ cargo install mdbook - Build the book, open it in a browser and build after file changes:
$ mdbook serve --open
