[os-infrastructure] FW: Subversion builds

[Andrew Ross]

FYI everyone.
 
Thank you to Steve, Bob, and Hong for their work to test various
platforms from subversion. 
 
On a related note, thanks to Daryl, Grant, J, and others for work to get
MacOS building cleanly. If I understand correctly (as I don't have a Mac
myself), after the latest change gets integrated, building and creating
an instance on MacOS works as well as Fedora Core 32 bit (which was our
cleanest built so far). Steve reported that SUSE is clean as well once
all the package dependencies are applied. (Thanks!)
 
Thank you,
 
Andrew

Bob/Hong,

 

We need to try to assess the state of the subversion code/build on
various platforms, the current platforms on the priority list are:

 

Fedora 64-bit

RHEL 5

Ubuntu 32-bit

Ubuntu 64-bit

SuSE 10.3 32-bit (I've done this one)

SuSE 10.3 64-bit

Windows XP

Windows Vista

Solaris 10

 

We need to pull the code onto the various machines, follow the
instructions in the README, and document what else we needed to do or
had to install to make the build work. For SuSE 32-bit, I had to install
a number of other packages from the SuSE distro that weren't standard,
like Xerces, Kerberos, and rpm-devel, although things like pax and
boost-jam were already there. We need to try to install packages that
are provided by the OS itself if possible, if not, download them from
their open source location. 

 

When you have some spare cycles, can you set up VM's for these machines
(or use real machines if we already have them), pull the code from the
subversion repository, and see what issues you have with the builds. We
need to document the packages required from the OS distro, anything you
had to install from other locations, and then any other issues with the
build or build scripts beyond that.

 

Let Andrew know once you've picked an OS off the list; he can coordinate
the effort.

 

Steve
