Relating to the jenkins based system: How can I check build internals in case of hidden build issues ? From my 16 year porting KDE experience (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KDE_on_Cygwin) - because of the number of related packages, build systems and possible configuration - this is required often and could not be provided by a build log. You need to inspect for example cmake generated files like include_cxx.rsp which contains the used include directories (a real world example is https://phabricator.kde.org/D9404) Therefore I'm using obs build service. After installing osc (https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:OSC) on a linux machine, I run osc co home:rhabacker:branches:windows:mingw:win32:KF541/mingw32-kio cd home:rhabacker:branches:windows:mingw:win32:KF541/mingw32-kio osc build In case of errors I run osc chroot to enter the chrooted build environment to enter package source dir I enter cd /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/kio-5.41.0 to enter package source dir I use cd /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/kio-5.41.0/build to continue broken build I run cd /home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/kio-5.41.0/build make I can edit files, clean builds, restart build, make patches to fix issues in build system and so one Doe KDE CI provide shell access to the complete build infrastructure like installed 3rdparty packages, source and build files ?
