Jenkins
This page describes the "Jenkins" builder used by Team XBMC to build the variety of releases from Team XBMC
Jenkins
Jenkins is the successor of Buildbot which was harder to maintain.
Building
Building using Jenkins is only allowed by XBMC Team members. Team members that have XBMC git rights are allwoed to use these builders.
Automated builds
Automated build are started at a specific time which can be configured at for each builder. At the moment we use builder XBMC-BuildAll which is trigger by a timer. It starts the list of separate builders listed below and by default will build the master branch from https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc
- XBMC-Android-ARM
- XBMC-IOS-ATV
- XBMC-OSX-32
- XBMC-OSX-64
- XBMC-WIN-32
Starting manual build
To start a manual build to build a certain release or just for testing/compiling purpose you must use the XBMC-BuildAll builder. By clicking on the XBMC-BuildAll builder you get several options on the left side. Click on Start a new build. Now you get the following options:
- Configuration [default/release/debug]
- Revision [Branch/Tag/Commit]
- Upload result (enable this to upload the finished build to http://mirrors.xbmc.org/test-builds/ )
- Github repo (provide the repository from which you want to build)
Now hit Build. This will start all attached platform builders using the configuration you provided.
