We’ve got a C++ Project that currently uses Make on Linux to build. I’d like to automate it similar to a Java Project under CruiseControl.
1) Is there a project similar to CruiseControl for C++ projects?
OR
2) Is there a good “how-to” on using CruiseControl for C++ Projects?
I’ve been looking at setting up CruiseControl for C++ projects on Linux but came across Hudson. It has a one file/one command line setup and you’re up and running. The management access is via nice web interface. I highly recommend it.
Hudson compared to CC seems easier to setup and manage plus you have access to build statics, errors/warnings via plugins (drop in directory and they are available) and you can set it up to automatically email when build fails.
I’ve created shell script that invokes make for each project directory. I pointed Hudson to run that scrip. The build is setup via cron like settings – setup via web interface.
I have it checking every 30 minutes for code changes and getting build from perforce and recompiling.
If you’re not sure give it a try. It takes only couple of minutes to get up and running. I’ve downloaded it because I wanted to see what is possible with our current build setup and I’ve never looked back, it’s been running for nearly a year without any problems.
