<p>Volunteers can provide their build machines to work as build slaves to
public LLVM Buildbot. Below described recommended steps to implement this
task.</p>
<p>The steps are roughly as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li><p>Check the existing build configurations to make sure the one you are
interested in is not covered yet or gets built on your computer much
faster than on the existing one. We prefer faster builds so developers
will get feedback sooner after changes get committed.</p></li>
<li><p>The computer you will be registering with the LLVM buildbot
infrastructure should have all dependencies installed and you can
actually build your configuration successfully. You can build multiple
configurations on one computer.</p></li>
<li><p>Install buildslave (currently we are using buildbot version 0.8.5).
Depending on the platform, buildslave could be available to download and
install with your packet manager, or you can download it directly from
<a href="http://trac.buildbot.net">http://trac.buildbot.net</a> and
install it manually.</p></li>
<li><p>Create a designated user account your buildslave will be running
under.</p></li>
<li><p>Choose the buildslave root directory (all builds will be placed under
it), buildslave access name and password the build master will be using
to authenticate your build slave.</p></li>
<li><p>Then create a build slave in context of that buildslave account.
Point it to the lab.llvm.org port 9990<br />
(see <tt>http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/current/full.html#creating-a-slave</tt>
for more details) by running the following command:
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
$ buildslave create-slave <i>buildslave-root-directory</i> lab.llvm.org: 9990 \
<i>buildslave-access-name buildslave-access-password</i>
</pre></div></p></li>
<li><p>Fill the build slave description and admin name/e-mail.
Here is an example of the build slave description:
<div class="doc_code">
<pre>
Windows 7 x64
Core i7 (2.66GHz), 16GB of RAM
g++.exe (TDM-1 mingw32) 4.4.0
GNU Binutils 2.19.1
cmake version 2.8.4
Microsoft(R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 16.00.40219.01 for 80x86
</pre></div></p></li>
<li><p>Make sure you can actually start the buildslave successfully. Then set
up your build slave to start automatically at the start up time.
See buildbot manual for help. You may want to restart your computer to see if it works.</p></li>
<li><p>Send a patch which adds your build slave and builder to zorg.<br />
* slaves are added to<br />
<tt>http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/zorg/trunk/buildbot/osuosl/master/config/slaves.py</tt><br />
* builders are added to<br />
<tt>http://llvm.org/svn/llvm-project/zorg/trunk/buildbot/osuosl/master/config/builders.py</tt></p></li>
<li><p>Then send the buildslave access name and password directly to
<a href="mailto:gkistanova@gmail.com">Galina Kistanova</a>
<li><p>Check the status of your buildslave on
http://lab.llvm.org:8011/waterfall to make sure it is connected, and
http://lab.llvm.org:8011/buildslaves/&lt;your buildslave name&gt; to see
if the information is correct.</p></li>
<li><p>Wait for the first build to succeed and see if it could go faster with
higher degree of parallelism (-j param).</p></li>
</ol>
