armenzg: Sess13: Buildbot with Cairo

In this post you will see that I have set up a master.cfg file to build cairo and run the tests BUT not the performance tests

My results:

• master.cfg
• buildbot-status-cairo.jpg - After build #8 (no tests at this point)
• Buildbot:Cairo-results.tar.gz - After build #11 (tests were run)
  

What the buildbot steps do is basically this:

• Remove folders "pixman" and "cairo"
• Checkout from GIT repository "pixman" and "cairo"
• Build pixman
• ./autogen.sh
• ./configure --prefix=/home/armen/lib //This is to avoid to do "sudo make install"
  
• make
• make install
• Build Cairo
• ./autogen.sh
• ./configure --prefix=/home/armen/lib
• make
• make install
• Run Cairo's Tests
• make test
• cd test && make html //This generates html file that displays images, all together is around 35MB
  
• Run Cairo's performance tests
• TO BE DONE
  

QUESTIONS:

• How do I pack the results and provide it? Upon request? After each build?
• PKG_CONFIG_PATH tells pkg-config where to look for information about packages and we use pkg-config to locate things like glib and cairo.
  My question is when am I supposed to run export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/armen/lib?? //I don't have it in my master.cfg
• I still have to run the performance tests and see what happens
  

TO REMEMBER:

• "Better support for git" ticket http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/130

EXTRA, BUT DO NOT READ:

FROM THIS POINT ON, these steps are my first attempt and you should not waste your time reading it, but it is good for learning purposes


This is a FRESH manual build of Cairo, the steps to set up the environment are ommited.
I have a problem/question relating that I have to raise privileges to do "make install", will this be OK with buildbot? Is there a way around?

• mkdir cairo & cd cairo
• git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/pixman
• git clone git://git.cairographics.org/git/cairo
• cd pixman && ./autogen.sh
• ./configure
• make
• make install //I have a problem can I set up buildbot to use SUDO??

• sudo make install //I had to use SUDO
  
• whereis libpixman-1
• cd ../cairo && ./autogen.sh
• ./configure
  
• make
• make install //the same problem with SUDO

• sudo make install

• make test //takes long time
  
• cd test && make html
