System Setup

As of April 2011, the squid build farm main node runs the KVM virtualization hypervisor. Build instructions:

  1. Hypervisor setup: make sure to use e1000 virtual NIC.
  2. Use a default OS setup.

  3. Apply a workaround to disable mpbios and properly support OpenBSD on KVM.

  4. create jenkins user useradd -m jenkins; passwd jenkins

  5. set PKG_PATH in /root/.profile (e.g. to ftp://mirror.switch.ch/pub/OpenBSD/`uname -r`/packages/`machine -a`

  6. add packages: pkg_add jre bzr cppunit libxml ccache autoconf-2.61p3 automake-1.9.6p4 libtool

  7. create jenkins user: useradd -m jenkins; passwd jenkins

  8. enable power management (for automatic system shutdown)

    • in /etc/rc.conf.local set apmd_flags=""

Build instructions

  • make sure to set up the environment variables AUTOMAKE_VERSION=1.9 and AUTOCONF_VERSION=2.61
