Hi Stefan,

> As you saw I use the bitbucket pipeline for CI/CD. The current bitbucket-pipelines.yml is pretty simple (see attachment). If you make me one which does the rpmbuild automatically, I'm more than happy to upload and use it. The downside there is that it only works for so long. As you saw at the

Good news ! I thought the bitbucket-pipelines.yml was automatically added when importing the repo :-P

Btw, i try to update it as enclosed :

• first step : build, install, start and test Web connection
• build on ELx in // with artifacts
  • on centos7
  • on centos8
  • on centos-stream-9
• automatic deployment on ... where you want. You can push to your website the files by sftp/scp using dedicated account/key using secrets in bitbuckket...

Manually, the artifacts (rpm files) are also available from website in pipeline's steps, Artifacts tab and download button.

NB : The ELOG version is statically set in pipeline script (3.1.5) so this script need to be updated with git one by bitbuecket vars or script command to retrieve it from src.

One more thing : the elog.spec.template must be patched to build last ELOG source on EL7. Without, an error occurs on nullptr usage and C++ must be set to C11 rules... See enclosed elog-EL7_c11_patch.diff .

Now, the Debian/Ubuntu PKGs generation have to be added. Need google as I do not do that for 20 years :-P

Bye

Laurent

Hi Stefan,

Nice to have up to date RPMs.

For .DEB, I contact the Ubuntu maintainer for its build script, and cool, he replied that he's searching for it. That's could help me to generate the deb more rapidly...

For Windows target, It's supported in Bitbucket but only with private agent :-(

So I tried to build using docker hub MSVC image (abrarov/msvc-2019) but pipeline fails to retrieve the image. Maybe I need to swipe on alternative images, or these images with MS software are unaccepted from Atlassian...

Also, I tried to crosscompiling ELOG Win32 from Linux with g++-mingw-w64-x86-64, but Makefile/sources need to be patched to manage this 'platform'... For the moment, it fails. :-(

Next solution : use Wine in Debian image to build Elog with mingwin as I know that it works (under Windows :-)). Will be tested after all...

.

Laurent

Elogd for windows has an option -install which normally does it. Is it working on last Windows version (or the one enclosed in elog:Forum/69664) ?

If Yes, a simple install-as-a-service.bat can be added to archive :-)

.

Laurent

Hi Stefan,

Some updates for Windows version.

I spent last WE to try to build ELOG on Windows from MSVCODE, MSCV, crosschain tool under linux etc, but in vain.

ELOG MSVC projects file are obsolete for last MS C++, and after migration, so much error or missing libs for SSL/Ldap/krb5 which should be built... I drop the sponge :-P

With mingw64 under Linux (docker/Debian), the code has also to be updated (C++11), but I don't get a build after all (also libs missing and must be built).

Finally, I can build Windows version from Windows with CygWin gcc-c++ as I did in the past. All the dependencies are available from CygWin installer. I got problems with strlcpy file missing, need to drop inlcude from elog.c and elogd.h as mxml doesn't include it anymore...

I find a Win64 CI/CD solution on AppVeyor which is free for OSS project. After creating account and add link to my ELOG test Bitbucket repo, ad new files (appveyor.yml, buildming script, update NSIS script for CygWin DDL, add tool for service), it builds automatically an elog-ver-release.exe artifact : (current build from GIT with SSL/LDAP/KRB5 available on month up to March 3, 2024 : https://ci.appveyor.com/api/buildjobs/logp7r8f0kcjq9pp/artifacts/elog-3.1.5-a720145.exe)

I installed this NSIS bundle on my PC and it's starting fine as a service.

I will send you the files/patchs if AppVeyor could be used for Windows CI/CD in your project.

Bye,

Laurent

NB: the AppVeyor build log enclosed, need some cleanup...

Hi Nina,

The RPM is built with Kerberos (libber*), LDAP (libldap*) and SSL (libssl*) options. These libs are missing on your system, and rpm command does not take care of dependencies.

 Try to install with yum : yum install elog-latest.el7.x86_64.rpm

Normally the missing rpm files should be dlded from RL repo if your host can access to them...

.

Laurent

Normally it should work. Requirements are set in SPEC file.

Nina, do you use right RPM version (el7/8/9) according to Rockylinux one ? El7 rpm can not be installed on RL9...

Bye

Hi,

The ELOG website provides new link to RPM packages :

Linux binaries are distributed as RPMs.

EL8/EL9 RPM are also available.

Yes, same build options are used. 
But i can not'confirm that they are working as well as on EL7. The tests done by build script on CI/CD are quite simple and limited to rpm installation, service start and access from cmdline to elog server.
So thanks to report your personal experience with EL8/9 builds... 🤓
