Install Buildbot

Note: cvs.mozilla.org may need to be cvs-mirror.mozilla.org. Make sure to use the Win32 Python to install Buildbot.

Using cygwin, (do not use cmd.exe DOS prompt, you'll get syntax errors!) run:

cd /home/cltbld
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co mozilla/tools/buildbot

Using cmd.exe DOS prompt (do not use cygwin, you'll get the wrong python!) run:

cd mozilla/tools/buildbot
python setup.py build
python setup.py install

Edit the 'buildbot.bat' file in d:\buildtools\python24\scripts to use the correct location of "buildbot", and to escape each \\ :

@python d:\\buildtools\\python24\\scripts\\buildbot %*

Install the Botrunner script

Using cygwin, (do not use cmd.exe DOS prompt, you'll get syntax errors!), get the MozBuild and botrunner modules from cvs cd

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co mozilla/tools/MozBuild
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.mozilla.org:/cvsroot co mozilla/tools/botrunner.py

Using cmd.exe DOS prompt (do not use cygwin)

cp MozBuild/Util.py d:\buildtools\python24\Lib\site-packages
cp MozBuild/botrunner.py d:\buildtools\python24\scripts\botrunner.py
