DevOps for C++ distributed build
Most of the current codebase and applications of Mediso has been written in C++ using Qt as user interface. The entire product line is built based on generated build files from CMake.
The entire codebase is around 5-10M LOC, which introduces a large overhead during the development process. A single full bbuild is around 40 minutes – 100 minutes in average based on the hardware configuration. To overcome this we must introduce parallel and distributed build.
To do so, one must proved a solution based on CMake, Ninja, Goma and RBE/Buildgrid. The ultimate goal is to push down the complete build time around 5-10 minutes. The POC shall demonstrate the building of OpenCV/LLVM complete build in an distributed manner. We prefer a docker containerized approach for the Goma server side and RBE/Buildgrid. The POC can use docker images for the worker machines as well.
The helper material is attached in the this zipped file.
