[PATCH] travis: enable building of the tools

[PATCH] travis: enable building of the tools

[Doug Goldstein]

For native (non-cross compiles) we now only require bcc, ld86, as86 for
building rombios, we can build the toolstack sans rombios and using the
system SeaBIOS due to known build issues. At the same time capture the
output of the configure scripts to help with tracking down future build
issues. This does not enable building of the toolstack with clang for
now due to multiple failures.

It would be useful if you can provide a link to a success travis run so
that people who are interested (e.g. me :-P) can have a look.

I guess the reason for this is because travis's yaml is not expressive
enough for our purpose?

The rest looks sensible to me.

Wei.

Apologies. I meant to just didn't.

Thanks. Looks good to me.

Reviewed-by: Wei Liu <wei.liu2@citrix.com>

Though this patch is not strictly coupled with 4.7 I would like to see
it in as soon as possible.

I will let this patch floating on xen-devel for a bit in case other
people have comments.

Looking at the results of
https://travis-ci.org/cardoe/xen/builds/125166028 , this is definitely a
good improvement.

However, I do have one suggestion for an improvement which we might want
to consider (likely as a followup patch).

It would be very useful if we could get travis to build 32bit tools as
well as 64bit.  It is moderately frequently that the build breaks
because of a stray use of unsigned long vs uint32_t or uint64_t.

This can be done using XEN_TARGET_ARCH=x86_32, although you would still
need x86_64 to the hypervisor, or omit the hypervisor build entirely.

So good to push? Just want to see this land for 4.7 because I think it
will help catch issues for backports and I can continue to build on this
to get more distros building.
