Hi, We have part of our project that is in C++. We're looking into a Jenkins job for CI for it.
It requires as prerequisites: Apache APR, ICU, Xerces, and maybe some other somewhat standard components. When building on private machines, the technique is to obtain these by either installing prebuilt versions, or first "building" these, more or less as a one time operation (repeated sometimes when toolchain levels change). What's the best practice on Apache Jenkins? Are there a group of machines where somewhat standard packages like the above are installed (at various versions)? If so, is there a standard naming of these to find them? If not, should each build do its own build of these components, every time the build runs? Thanks. -Marshall Schor (Apache UIMA project)
