2. Content Some words about prerequisites Build environment: two flavours
Build process: tools and scopes
Build tool as a “top level” tool for the builds
Interface
Planned features
Drills
Q&A

3. Some words about prerequsites
Windows and Cygwin
Use latest Cygwin version
Carefully read howto: Oo_with_Cygwin_on_Windows
Tools: when possible – put them aside and use $PATH variable and “--with-*-home”

4. Build environment: two flavours
OOo: single-developer oriented
OpenOffice.org: single-developer oriented
All tools are locally installed
Environment set with configure script
One machine for builds
OpenOffice: production oriented
Almost all tools accessed via network
Sources on network volumes, mounted similarily on each build machine
Distributed build system
Reuse of builds

5. Build process: tools and scopes
Source file scope: dmake & makefile.mk
In parallel: -PN
Project & global scope: build & build.lst (triggered by dmake)
In parallel: -PN (recommended)

6. Build tool as a “top level” tool for the builds
Interface
build –-help :-)
build -–all (build -–all:vcl)
build -f|--since (premise, one and multiple modules)
build -–html
build -–server
build -–pre_job (-–job, --post_job)
Build -–ignore
Planned features

7. Drills How do we build as much as possible overnight?
What limitation do we have on windows?
How we can reuse the solver for the new milestone? Under which conditions?
How we can share our builds with others?
