Nightly builds

I am willing to follow any steps needed to release Nightly builds. Let me know if I can help.

Re: Nightly builds

right now, we are using a bash script to do nightly building for OSX:

For windows, Armin is worried about virus scan to do similar.

nightly-build.sh

Windows nightly builds are in the final test phase. I'm confident that everything will work before the weekend.

it takes less than 10 minutes to build. Impressive!

on my linux box, desktop, quad-core i7, 12GB RAM, it takes more than 20 minutes to build.

Re: Nightly builds

If you add -j to the make arguments in Qt creator it will reduce the build time by just that amount.
It was taking like 27-8 minutes before, now it takes 7-8 minutes and uses 100% cpu.

Re: Nightly builds

for osx, the building script hardcoded "make -j4" in file scripts/build-osx.sh

is there a way to make number of jobs auto?

make -j

If you don't specify the number of jobs with -j then it will find it out itself.

Re: Nightly builds

Thanks!

I will commit this change.

BTW, just tested on my laptop:

with "make -j8"

real 4m22.354s
user 30m46.488s
sys 2m26.179s
