Problems

  • A lot of problems when trying to build on MacOS are mentioned here: Sess14-Buildbot on Cairo
  • The first time the command GIT CLONE works because there is nothing before that execution but the second run should be an update instead of a checkout. What could be the proper GIT command to have as the step?
I have decided to remove the checked out code and checkout the trunk before each build
  • I need to do SUDO MAKE INSTALL, but this requires user's input which breaks the automated concept. What could be the right step?
Used ./configure --prefix=/path/to/somewhere to avoid building somewhere where I require to have sudo privileges

Where will I put code and screenshots?

What has been released this week:

Steps to meet requirements

  • sudo apt-get install buildbot
  • sudo apt-get install git-core //This is to get the version control that cairo uses, it is called GIT

Steps to make it happen

  • buildbot create-master ~/cairomaster
  • Put the master.cfg to the the created master
  • buildbot create-slave ~/cairoslave localhost:9876 cairoslave
  • buildbot start ~/cairomaster
  • buildbot start ~/cairoslave
  • firefox http://localhost:8020 //This is to be able to see the results of the build

Build Cairo manually

Running the tests and getting an index.html file with them
