BuildSystem

Build and repository layout

The [wiki:Building] page has various notes on the Eclipse IDE and examples for building from within the IDE.

The following describes the repository and build system that NSLS-II is putting together. Fundamentally, the script

  build/build.sh

is supposed to build one of the products from the

products

subdirectory of the repository

• RepositoryLayout -- How the repository is organized
• FeaturesAndPlugins -- How features and plugins are used
• HeadlessBuild -- How the build scripts work and how to add new products
• ContinuousBuild -- How Hudson and SourceForge are used to have automatic builds

Common Product

There is an automated Hudson setup that builds a COMMON product

• https://irmis-dev.bnl.gov/hudson/view/CSS/job/CSS%20-%20COMMON%20Build

To add a new plugin XYZ to the common product:

• This can be done by simply adding a dependency to the XYZ plugin in the product definition file.

• The plugin also needs to be added to the plugins.list in the cs-studio/product/COMMON/plugins.list.

• Make sure that all the plugins required by XYZ are also added to both the product definition and the plugin.lists file.

• Once this is done you can try to build the product from command line

  cd cs-studio/build ./build.sh COMMON

• Once the build is successful push to the cs-studio repository.
