+# buildtools
+
+We release PaddlePaddle and PaddlePaddle Fluid as shared libraries,
+which, we hope could be released as wheel packages on PyPI, so we need
+to make sure that the build follows the
+[manulinux1](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0513/) standard.
+
+The manylinux standard suggests building Python modules on an old
+system, because that a module would anyway depend on some shared
+libraries, and Linux's shared library standard states that those built
+with newer version compilers cannot work with those with older
+versions.  The suggested building environment is as old as CentOS 5.
+However, PaddlePaddle relies on CUDA, and the earlies version of
+[CentOS works with CUDA is 6](https://hub.docker.com/r/nvidia/cuda/).
+So, here we provide a Docker image basing on CentOS 6 and CUDA for
+building PaddlePaddle and making the release supports "as-manylinux as
+possible."  or "sufficiently many Linux" according to [this
+discussion](https://mail.python.org/pipermail/wheel-builders/2016-July/000175.html).
+
+The build output of our Docker image includes multiple wheel files --
+some contain the CPU-only binary, some others support CUDA; some are
+compatible with the cp27m Python ABI, some others with cp27.
+
+To build these wheels, please run the following commands:
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/paddlepaddle/paddle
+cd paddle/tools/manylinux1
+REPO=[yourrepo] ./build_all.sh
+```
