WebKit BuildBot
The WebKit BuildBot is a system to help automate the compile/test cycle. After every commit to WebKit's Subversion repository it will schedule compilation and tests on a variety of different computers, known as build slaves.
Running a Build Slave
Each build slave needs a unique username and password to be able to take part in the compile/test cycle. Please email webkit-dev if you would like to contribute a build slave.
Please ensure that you are familiar with building WebKit from source so that problems getting the slave up and running can be easily troubleshooted. The machine will need to have:
General requirements
- Subversion installed and accessible on the
PATH
. - Set the computer to not go to sleep (under Energy Saver in System Preferences)
- Install Twisted
- Download the latest version of Twisted from http://www.twistedmatrix.com/.
- Run
sudo python setup.py install
from within the extracted directory to install it.
- Install BuildBot
- Download the latest version of BuildBot from http://buildbot.net/.
- Extract it.
- In a shell, change into the
buildbot
directory and runsudo python setup.py install
Mac requirements
- Everything in http://webkit.org/building/tools.html
- Add
/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/bin/
to your shell'sPATH
variable.
Win requirements
- Everything in http://webkit.org/building/tools.html
- For the cygwin install, the actual minimal requirements are: apache, bc, bison, curl, diffutils, flex, gcc, gperf, make, patch, perl, python, readline, ruby, subversion, unzip, zip.
- From the instructions, save the file WebKitSupportLibrary.zip in a directory (e.g.
c:\deps
) andset WEBKITSUPPORTLIBRARIESZIPDIR=c:\deps
- Safari 4 and QuickTime
- Java
- Set the following registry key:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\AeDebug] "Auto"="0"
GTK requirements
- See BuildingGtk
- Probably need to
sudo apt-get install geoclue libsoup
. (To be verified and moved to BuildingGtk).
QT requirements
- See QtWebKit
Chromium Requirements
- See Chromium
Configuring a Build Slave
- Open a shell inside a directory suitable to keep the build slaves copy of the WebKit repository.
- Run
buildbot create-slave WebKit-BuildSlave build.webkit.org:17000 [username] [password]
- Change to the
WebKit-BuildSlave
directory - Rename
Makefile.sample
toMakefile
- Edit
info/admin
andinfo/host
to contain basic contact information and information about the build slave. - Run
make start
to start the build slave. Logging information can be viewed by runningmake log
.
Troubleshooting
On Windows, if you get perl (...) fatal error - unable to remap (...) to same address as parent
, you need to run
c:\cygwin\bin\ash /bin/rebaseall -b 0x50000000 -o 0x80000 exit
or rebase individual files.
