Are we having fun yet? And by “we” I mean “I.” And by “fun” I mean “misery”
Ah, “Project: Bradenburg”—the gift that keeps on giving.
The build server can now find the proper build node,
so that's progress.
The build fails,
however,
because of linking errors,
which at least validates the issues I'm having on my local machine.
I make one small change to the Makefile
I know will fix the issue,
and the build server didn't pick up the change.
What?
Some investigation,
and it appears the build server is pulling the repository from git
,
and not from Subversion.
It appears I did not receive the memo about this
(a year and a half ago,
I started to migrate our stuff to git
,
but stopped because some of our Solaris build servers couldn't check the repos out from git
.
And that's still an issue.
But “Project: Bradenburg” doesn't run on Solaris so for that and some other reasons,
Ops “moved” the repository to git
a few months ago).
So now the official build for “Project: Bradenburg” comes from git
,
and the rest of our official builds for projects in our department are still from Subversion.
Fine.
I can deal.
I actually prefer git
over Subversion anyway.
I get the credentials worked out for the git
repository,
make my small change to fix the linking issue,
only to have another linking issue.
Because of course.
I swear, how did this ever compile in the first place?
