[gdal-dev] MSYS buildslave

[Ari Jolma]

All,

I've set up a buildslave, which builds GDAL from a fresh checkout of the 
trunk in Windows using the MSYS environment. Currently the build is 
quite lean and only Perl bindings are built in addition to the core dll 
and apps. Only Perl tests are run.

The slave is listed on http://buildbot.osgeo.org:8500/waterfall and it 
runs on a vmware'd windows on my desktop machine at work. The slave was 
easy to set up - once I understood that the buildmaster listens at port 
1500 and *not* at 8500.

The build is not quite right out of box, I've had to add two small hacks 
(done by small perl scripts at each build):

- edit GNUmakefile in gdal root to replace ${GDAL_ROOT} with "." 
(ticket: #2127)
- edit swig/perl/Makefile.PL to add c:/msys/1.0/local/{lib|include}, 
which contains some things that get into gdal core (curl, geos) in my system
