40<p>Volunteers can provide their build machines to work as build slaves to
41   public LLVM Buildbot.</p>
42
43<p>Here are the steps you can follow to do so:</p>
44
45<ol>
46  <li><p>Check the existing build configurations to make sure the one you are
47      interested in is not covered yet or gets built on your computer much
48      faster than on the existing one. We prefer faster builds so developers
49      will get feedback sooner after changes get committed.</p></li>
50
51  <li><p>The computer you will be registering with the LLVM buildbot
52      infrastructure should have all dependencies installed and you can
53      actually build your configuration successfully. Please check what degree
54      of parallelism (-j param) would give the fastest build.
55      You can build multiple configurations on one computer.</p></li>
56
57  <li><p>Install buildslave (currently we are using buildbot version 0.8.5).
58      Depending on the platform, buildslave could be available to download and
59      install with your packet manager, or you can download it directly from
60      <a href="http://trac.buildbot.net">http://trac.buildbot.net</a> and
61      install it manually.</p></li>
62
63  <li><p>Create a designated user account, your buildslave will be running
64      under, and set appropriate permissions.</p></li>
65
66  <li><p>Choose the buildslave root directory (all builds will be placed under
67      it), buildslave access name and password the build master will be using
68      to authenticate your buildslave.</p></li>
69
70  <li><p>Create a buildslave in context of that buildslave account.
71      Point it to the <b>lab.llvm.org</b> port <b>9990</b> (see
72      <a href="http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/current/full.html#creating-a-slave">
73      Buildbot documentation, Creating a slave</a>
74      for more details) by running the following command:</p>
75
76<div class="doc_code">
77<pre>
78$ buildslave create-slave <i>buildslave-root-directory</i> \
79             lab.llvm.org:9990 \
80             <i>buildslave-access-name buildslave-access-password</i>
81</pre>
82</div></li>
83
84  <li><p>Fill the buildslave description and admin name/e-mail.
85      Here is an example of the buildslave description:</p>
86
87<div class="doc_code">
88<pre>
89Windows 7 x64
90Core i7 (2.66GHz), 16GB of RAM
91
92g++.exe (TDM-1 mingw32) 4.4.0
93GNU Binutils 2.19.1
94cmake version 2.8.4
95Microsoft(R) 32-bit C/C++ Optimizing Compiler Version 16.00.40219.01 for 80x86
96</pre>
97</div></li>
98
99  <li><p>Make sure you can actually start the buildslave successfully. Then set
100      up your buildslave to start automatically at the start up time.
101      See the buildbot documentation for help.
102      You may want to restart your computer to see if it works.</p></li>
103
104  <li><p>Send a patch which adds your build slave and your builder to zorg.</p>
105      <ul>
106          <li>slaves are added to
107              <tt>buildbot/osuosl/master/config/slaves.py</tt></li>
108          <li>builders are added to
109              <tt>buildbot/osuosl/master/config/builders.py</tt></li>
110      </ul></li>
111
112  <li><p>Send the buildslave access name and the access password directly
113      to <a href="mailto:gkistanova@gmail.com">Galina Kistanova</a>, and wait
114      till she will let you know that your changes are applied and buildmaster
115      is reconfigured.</p>
116
117  <li><p>Check the status of your buildslave on the
118      <a href="http://lab.llvm.org:8011/waterfall">Waterfall Display</a>
119      to make sure it is connected, and
120      <a href="http://lab.llvm.org:8011/buildslaves/your-buildslave-name">
121      http://lab.llvm.org:8011/buildslaves/&lt;your-buildslave-name&gt;</a>
122      to see if administrator contact and slave information are correct.</p>
123      </li>
124
125  <li><p>Wait for the first build to succeed and enjoy.</p></li>
126</ol>
