Re: [Adobe-source-build] Welcome to the "Adobe-source-build" mailing list

Gents,

I have set up this mailing list through Sourceforge to keep track of the
Travis-CI server as it builds ASL on GitHub. It's probably the most
convoluted setup imaginable, but necessary given how sparse all the
necessary parts are.

I have set up Travis-CI as a continuous integration server pulling
legacy/development branch off of GitHub. (I can have it pull master at a
later date, too, when that is building.) The good news here is that it is
using a Mac to do the build, complete with the latest Xcode, so any issues
there we can easily reproduce locally. Unfortunately the way Travis-CI set
up their Mac support makes it mutually exclusive from, say, building on
linux. I figured building exclusively on the Mac was worth it. This *also*
gives us access to xcodebuild as well as bjam - I can write a bash script
to have both execute on their server, and it should cover all our bases
(bjam and Xcode) on the Mac. Nice!

I would *like* Travis-CI to email this list when they send out
notifications - hence my creation of it. No word yet on whether or not
this list will accept their email as it's coming from a third-party. I'll
toy around with this and hopefully get it working.

Now on to the build - I had to disable a number of projects in bjam file
because they were compiling sources that are out of date, missing, or
deprecated. I am assuming this is related to Sean's transition of ASL to
c++11. If so it would be great if those unit tests could be brought back
online. There is also a linker error specific to release builds in the
adam_tutorial and eve_smoke projects, so those have also been disabled. As
I said before you can repro these issues 100% on a local Mac with the
latest dev tools, so hopefully we'll spend more time actually moving
things forward than wrestling with the tools.

Onward!
