1 =================================================================== 2 How To Add Your Build Configuration To LLVM Buildbot Infrastructure 3 =================================================================== 4 5 Introduction 6 ============ 7 8 This document contains information about adding a build configuration and 9 buildslave to private slave builder to LLVM Buildbot Infrastructure 10 `<http://lab.llvm.org:8011>`_. 11 12 13 Steps To Add Builder To LLVM Buildbot 14 ===================================== 15 Volunteers can provide their build machines to work as build slaves to 16 public LLVM Buildbot. 17 18 Here are the steps you can follow to do so: 19 20 #. Check the existing build configurations to make sure the one you are 21 interested in is not covered yet or gets built on your computer much 22 faster than on the existing one. We prefer faster builds so developers 23 will get feedback sooner after changes get committed. 24 25 #. The computer you will be registering with the LLVM buildbot 26 infrastructure should have all dependencies installed and you can 27 actually build your configuration successfully. Please check what degree 28 of parallelism (-j param) would give the fastest build. You can build 29 multiple configurations on one computer. 30 31 #. Install buildslave (currently we are using buildbot version 0.8.5). 32 Depending on the platform, buildslave could be available to download and 33 install with your packet manager, or you can download it directly from 34 `<http://trac.buildbot.net>`_ and install it manually. 35 36 #. Create a designated user account, your buildslave will be running under, 37 and set appropriate permissions. 38 39 #. Choose the buildslave root directory (all builds will be placed under 40 it), buildslave access name and password the build master will be using 41 to authenticate your buildslave. 42 43 #. Create a buildslave in context of that buildslave account. Point it to 44 the **lab.llvm.org** port **9990** (see `Buildbot documentation, 45 Creating a slave 46 <http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/current/full.html#creating-a-slave>`_ 47 for more details) by running the following command: 48 49 .. code-block:: bash 50 51 $ buildslave create-slave <buildslave-root-directory> \ 52 lab.llvm.org:9990 \ 53 <buildslave-access-name> <buildslave-access-password> 54 55 #. Fill the buildslave description and admin name/e-mail. Here is an 56 example of the buildslave description:: 57 58 Windows 7 x64 59 Core i7 (2.66GHz), 16GB of RAM 60 61 g++.exe (TDM-1 mingw32) 4.4.0 62 GNU Binutils 2.19.1 63 cmake version 2.8.4 64 Microsoft(R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 16.00.40219.01 for 80x86 65 66 #. Make sure you can actually start the buildslave successfully. Then set 67 up your buildslave to start automatically at the start up time. See the 68 buildbot documentation for help. You may want to restart your computer 69 to see if it works. 70 71 #. Send a patch which adds your build slave and your builder to zorg. 72 73 * slaves are added to ``buildbot/osuosl/master/config/slaves.py`` 74 * builders are added to ``buildbot/osuosl/master/config/builders.py`` 75 76 #. Send the buildslave access name and the access password directly to 77 `Galina Kistanova <mailto:gkistanova (a] gmail.com>`_, and wait till she 78 will let you know that your changes are applied and buildmaster is 79 reconfigured. 80 81 #. Check the status of your buildslave on the `Waterfall Display 82 <http://lab.llvm.org:8011/waterfall>`_ to make sure it is connected, and 83 ``http://lab.llvm.org:8011/buildslaves/<your-buildslave-name>`` to see 84 if administrator contact and slave information are correct. 85 86 #. Wait for the first build to succeed and enjoy. 87
