Gavin's notes on getting gitian builds up and running using KVM:
|
|
|
|
These instructions distilled from:
|
|
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM/Installation
|
|
... see there for complete details.
|
|
|
|
You need the right hardware: you need a 64-bit-capable CPU with hardware virtualization support (Intel VT-x or AMD-V). Not all modern CPUs support hardware virtualization.
|
|
|
|
You probably need to enable hardware virtualization in your machine's BIOS.
|
|
|
|
You need to be running a recent version of 64-bit-Ubuntu, and you need to install several prerequisites:
|
|
sudo apt-get install ruby apache2 git apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder qemu-kvm
|
|
|
|
Sanity checks:
|
|
sudo service apt-cacher-ng status # Should return apt-cacher-ng is running
|
|
ls -l /dev/kvm # Should show a /dev/kvm device
|
|
|
|
|
|
Once you've got the right hardware and software:
|
|
|
|
git clone git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
|
|
git clone git://github.com/devrandom/gitian-builder.git
|
|
mkdir gitian-builder/inputs
|
|
cd gitian-builder/inputs
|
|

---------------------
|
|
|
|
gitian-builder now also supports building using LXC. See
|
|
https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/lxc.html
|
|
... for how to get LXC up and running under Ubuntu.
|
|
|
|
If your main machine is a 64-bit Mac or PC with a few gigabytes of memory
|
|
and at least 10 gigabytes of free disk space, you can gitian-build using
|
|
LXC running inside a virtual machine.
|
|
|
|
Here's a description of Gavin's setup on OSX 10.6:
|
|
|
|
1. Download and install VirtualBox from https://www.virtualbox.org/
|
|
|
|
2. Download the 64-bit Ubuntu Desktop 12.04 LTS .iso CD image from
|
|
http://www.ubuntu.com/
|
|
|
|
3. Run VirtualBox and create a new virtual machine, using the
|
|
Ubuntu .iso (see the VirtualBox documentation for details).
|
|
Create it with at least 2 gigabytes of memory and a disk
|
|
that is at least 20 gigabytes big.
|
|
|
|
4. Inside the running Ubuntu desktop, install:
|
|
sudo apt-get install debootstrap lxc ruby apache2 git apt-cacher-ng python-vm-builder
|
|
|
|
5. Still inside Ubuntu, tell gitian-builder to use LXC, then follow the "Once you've got the right
|
|
hardware and software" instructions above:
|
|
export USE_LXC=1
|
|
git clone git://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin.git
|
|
... etc
