Adding visual studio compiler to buildbot.

[Super Mario]

I will maintain the libraries if needed. How do I add slave bot for visual studio though? That way I don't have to report every compile error that I have received on my end.

[abma]

you need to setup a buildslave, http://docs.buildbot.net/current/manual ... ation.html

i've never set it up on windows, but it should be only required to install python and then

Code: Select all

pip install buildbot-slave

not sure whats needed for configuration / dedicated username / running it as service.

[Super Mario]

Installed build slave, what options should I use for create-slave option for the master?

[abma]

i pm'ed you the account data which should go into buildbot.tac:

sth. like this:

Code: Select all

buildmaster_host = 'springrts.com'
port = 9989
slavename = 'username'
passwd = 'verylongpassword'

(replace the values for slavename + passwd)

are there some special parameters required to build spring on this computer?

note: its the first windows buildslave :)

I even did with just springrts.com and it still didn't connect.

[abma]

i guess you have to use "buildbot.springrts.com" (without http and without port), just the plain dns name as given in the example, if you then get an error, please post it, too.

the error is dns failure, so the provided hostname is wrong or dns is not working at the computer.

Now it refuses for some reason.

[abma]

then the line

Code: Select all

port = 9989

is missing in your config file?!

I copy and past the password you send me, and it still won't work.

[abma]

oh... i will check server logs this evening, can't check it atm.

[abma]

ooops, i've changed config but forgot to reload the buildbot master. sorry! please try again, it should work now!

nope. still using the same username and password that you sent me.

[abma]

aw, try again. config of the master was still incomplete, sorry.

i've copied some default config, now it will be interesting what will fail when compiling:
https://github.com/spring/spring/commit ... 25f124c1cf

it should show up here when it works:

http://buildbot.springrts.com/waterfall

[Super Mario]

It connects.
Here is the new error message http://buildbot.springrts.com/builders/ ... logs/stdio

[abma]

doh! imo all used shell scripts have to be converted into cmake to get it working and then ran with cmake -P

shouldn't be difficult but needs some time.

[abma]

ok, slightly different approach:i've ported the scripts to python. crossing fingers, that it works next time when the buildslave is online.

[abma]

offline again i've possible fixed the error already.

to fix this faster, can the buildbot run for a longer time?

[Super Mario]

got new error now. http://buildbot.springrts.com/builders/ ... logs/stdio

[Super Mario]

I fix the configure error at the cmake level. I'm using 2.6.0 as the error indicates, as it comes with the cmake file which makes easier for me to maintain( This could be easily fix by telling the cmake that the ft2build dir is in the freetype folder instead of in just includes). Try again abma is should work now.
