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.
