OAH Build

What versions of the packages does OAH build?

Asked by muntyan

What are the versions of software built by OAH? Is it configurable like with jhbuild? It'd be awesome to be able to bulid, say, stable and svn versions of gtk.

OAH build adds own Makefiles/VCproj files to each module/package. These must currently be maintained to reflect autotools, automake. So currently each module have one or two releases built by OAH build, and the source code is located here on LP. Long term we want to have the vcproj files (++) in the repository of each module source repository. We haven't looked into using jhbuild yet, but as far as I know, this should be possible with some modifications to jhbuild itself and by using branches here on LP as repository. And yes, this is something we have talked about, and would like to do! Feel free to help us out! :)

Have a look at: https://launchpad.net/oah/+download for a quick overview of what we have released as prebuilt binaries.

If you want to build HEAD of a module, you'll have to do this manually yourself at the moment by branching from LP and use either bzr or git (GTK+ is branched from bzr-playground.gnome.org/gtk) to merge in latest changes. Then resolve all build issues.

Hope this helps!? :)
