Manduba should run a GNOME buildbot slave in order to help tinderbox the GNOME code, linked to http://build.gnome.org/

Running configuration

Manduba is running SunOS manduba 5.11 snv_101 sun4u sparc SUNW,Ultra-Enterprise Solaris

The buildbot runs as user 'buildbot' from /space/buildbot/

See http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/build_sw_on_solaris.html for general advice.

PATH=/space/buildbot/bin:/space/buildbot/prefix/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/sfw/bin:/opt/SUNWspro/bin:/ucs/ccs/bin:/usr/ucb:/usr/bin: (from .zshenv) - make sure /usr/ucb is after /usr/ccs.

.jhbuildrc:

checkoutroot = os.path.expanduser('~/checkout/gnome2')
prefix = '/space/buildbot/prefix/'
makeargs = '-j4'
os.environ['INSTALL'] = os.path.expanduser('~/bin/install-check')

Configuration procedure

Part 1: Configure jhbuild

http://live.gnome.org/Jhbuild

manduba: ~> mkdir -p ~/checkout/gnome2
manduba: ~> cd ~/checkout/gnome2
manduba: ~/checkout/gnome2> svn co http://svn.gnome.org/svn/jhbuild/trunk jhbuild
manduba: ~/checkout/gnome2> cd jhbuild
manduba: ~/checkout/gnome2/jhbuild> gmake -f Makefile.plain install-check CFLAGS='-DWITH_INSTALL=\"/usr/ucb/install\"'

(see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=364465)

manduba: ~/checkout/gnome2/jhbuild> gmake -f Makefile.plain
manduba: ~/checkout/gnome2/jhbuild> gmake -f Makefile.plain install

Create ~/.jhbuildrc as above.

To pick up standard version of gettext (+/- others):

manduba: ~> jhbuild bootstrap

Building gettext-0.17 on Solaris requires this patch: http://www.nabble.com/problem-building-gettext-on-Solaris-td14282365.html

Current issues:

• A lack of AM_NLS macros (provided by gettext on other platforms) - perhaps bootstrapping gettext or --disable-nls will help.
• No SSL CA certs for wget, meaning Mozilla packages have to be manually downloaded
• No git package, either in Sun's packages or Blastwave. opencsw has one, perhaps that could be manually installed?
