There used to be a wiki page describing this, but it seems to be gone. I captured that info in a document I use at work; see http://gds.gsfc.nasa.gov/tools_install_windows.pdf section 17.2 for building monotone on MinGW, 17.5 for installing the buildbot. This is _not_ a simple task; there are lots of manual steps, and there are probably new versions of some things now. And those instructions are known to work on Windows XP; there may be differences for Vista. For OS X, the general steps are the same, but the details will be significantly different. I suggest we create files in the monotone source tree documenting this stuff. Perhaps monotone/INSTALL.buildbot_mingw, INSTALL.buildbot_osx, etc? I suggest you dedicate a machine to running the buildbot. Running the monotone test suite can easily use 100% CPU and lots of disk accesses, so sharing that machine with normal development work would be problematic. Hmm; maybe if it's a multi-CPU with a fast disk, it would be ok. -- -- Stephe _______________________________________________ Monotone-devel mailing list [email protected] http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/monotone-devel
