Set up a Buildbot continuous integration compile slave for Linux

completed by: Skriptkid

mentors: Sean

Another GCI task installed and set up the Buildbot continuous integration system for us to use. That's a system for compiling software over and over to detect quickly when changes are introduced that break either compilation or run-time behavior.

This task involves continuing that work and getting a slave build of BRL-CAD set up for Linux.  The previous GCI task is here:

http://www.google-melange.com/gci/task/view/google/gci2012/8006217

You should also be familiar with:

  • http://brlcad.org/wiki/Compiling
  • http://brlcad.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/brlcad/brlcad/trunk/INSTALL

You'll set up the build slave on your own hardware, but keep a log of everything you do and submit instructions and scripts here for the task.  Provide detailed instructions and well-documented scripts.  Let us know if you run into a problem. :)

Make sure you are able to compile BRL-CAD successfully before claiming this task.
