Buildbot:Gentoo

This page is WIP! (don't expect these instructions to work, they only give a hint, how it should/could work...)

Its best to run a 64 bit gentoo, as x32 can be easily compiled, too.

buildbot-slave (for interacting with spring's buildbot)

on springrts.com in /home/buildbot/master/passwords.py a user and password must be added. this username is needed to connect the buildslave client to the master.

install buildbot on the slave:

emerge dev-util/buildbot-slave

add a local user which is used to build:

useradd -s /bin/false -d /home/buildslave -m buildslave

create the buildslave config

buildslave create-slave /home/buildslave springrts.com:9989 <buildbot user in passwords.py> <password in passwords.py>

make it autostart:

rc-update add buildslave default

adjust config

nano /etc/conf.d/buildslave

warning! you should use an ssh-tunnel to connect to the master as the password is sent in cleartext!

Setup gentoo win32 buildslave

Note: boost and spring has to be compiled with the same compiler! If you get weird linker errors then this could be the cause!

tools required for compiling

emerge layman mercurial app-arch/p7zip-9.13 dev-util/cmake app-arch/zip wine crossdev app-portage/portage-utils
layman -a ohnobinki
echo "source /var/lib/layman/make.conf" >> /etc/portage/make.conf
CHOST=i686-mingw32 ROOT=/usr/i686-mingw32 emerge pthreads-win32
USE="openmp cxx -fortran" crossdev i686-mingw32 --env 'EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-dwarf --enable-gomp --disable-shared"'

for java ai's / interface install a jdk

emerge -va oracle-jdk-bin

Install i686-mingw32 compiler, then pthreads, then recompile i686-mingw32 with pthreads enabled

USE="openmp cxx -fortran" crossdev i686-mingw32 --env 'EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-dwarf"'
CHOST=i686-mingw32 ROOT=/usr/i686-mingw32 emerge -va pthreads-win32
USE="openmp cxx -fortran" crossdev i686-mingw32 --env 'EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-sjlj-exceptions --with-dwarf --disable-shared"'
emerge-wrapper --init

stuff that needs to be compiled native (not with mingw)

emerge ncurses cmake eselect eselect-boost
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge boost-build

mingw64 32 bit

USE="openmp cxx -fortran -multilib static-libs" crossdev --env 'EXTRA_ECONF="--disable-shared"' -t i686-w64-mingw32

TODO: see http://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/mingw-w64/wiki/Cross%20Win32%20and%20Win64%20compiler

Setup static linux

set compile flags on 64 bit gentoo

this is only required on 64bit gentoo!

if you don't add -fPIC you mostly will get errors like his:

relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.1/../../../../lib64/libfl.a: could not

install needed programs and libs

Emerge gcc-4.7.2

emerge -va =sys-devel/gcc-4.7.2

enable / use it

gcc-config x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.7.2
env-update && source /etc/profile

re-install required libs with changed use flags:

tune

use ld.gold for linking:

binutils-config --linker ld.gold

32 bit buildbot on a 64 bit slave

switch back to the standard linker as glibc doesn't compile with ld.gold if you get this error: "These critical programs are missing or too old: as ld"

binutils-config --libc 2.11.3 --linker ld.bfd

force old version of glibc for more compatibility of the generated executable:

mkdir -p /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/etc/portage/package.mask

build all libs: (we use --nodeps as else it would pull in A LOT of dependencies which aren't required. because of --nodeps, the order of parameters matters!)
