Hello,
after watching the talk and discussion from Katja about external development, I have started setting up my extension PuREST JSON for CI builds on travis-ci.org.
Linux amd64 and cross compilation for Windows with MXE is working, I still have an error with compiling the 32 bit x86 version (see http://stackoverflow.com/q/40824438/124983).
Obiously, I would like to set up a Mac build machine as well. What do I need to install on a clean system via command line? Has anybody else tried to do that before?
After I have figured out the builds, I will write a summary on how to set it up correctly, and will try to build deken packages as well, and upload those to a test environment before actually releasing it.
If anyone wants to work with the current state of affairs:
The builds are setup with a file called .travis.yml, that contains the configuration variables and a list of build machines:
https://github.com/residuum/PuRestJson/blob/travis-ci/.travis.yml
I currently have two separate files for each environment, *_before_install.sh and *_script.sh, the former is used to set up the build environment and should in a way also function as documentation on how to set up your local machine, while *_script builds the files.
https://github.com/residuum/PuRestJson/tree/travis-ci/travis-build
I hope to be able to finish that this year and write some documentation about it as a Christmas / Chanukka gift to the community.
Thanks, Thomas
