# -*- mode: org -*- #+TITLE: Virtual machines for testing and Packaging * Prerequisites These virtual machines require - VirtualBox :: for running from [[https://www.virtualbox.org]] - Vagrant :: to automatically set them up from [[http://www.vagrantup.com]] To make sure that for the boxes the have the newest VirtualBox-additions do : vagrant plugin install vagrant-vbguest This installs a plugin that tries to update the guest addition if they are for an older version of VirtualBox * Starting A virtual machine is set up with : vagrant up <machineName> will download a virtual machine image and set it up. It will then modify the image: - add packages required to compile OpenFOAM and package it - mount the directory of the sources - from this directory clone it to the local disc with mercurial or git (whatever the parent uses) One can then connect to the virtual machine with : vagrant ssh <machinName> and will be in the =$HOME= directory of the user =vagrant= where in the directory =~/foam/foam-extend-3.0= the sources are available. Modifications can be pushed "outside" the virtual machine with : hg push There is also a symbolic link =~/foam/foam-extend-3.0-parent= to the sources if you want to edit there directly. Use with care and don't compile in that directory unless you know what you're doing * Virtual machines Currently existing virtual machines are - precise :: Latest LTS Ubuntu. - lucid :: Previous LTS Ubuntu. Currently problems with automatic setting up (something with the =postfix=-package) - maverick :: Tries to fix the problems with the =lucid=-machine. Not yet working - centos65 :: A CentOS 6.5 machine with preinstalled development tools - freebsd92 :: FreeBSD 9.2 32-bit machine. Does not work because FreeBSD does not support shared folders - freebsd10 :: FreeBSD 10.0 32-big machine. Tries to set up shared folders via NFS. Currently not working - opensuse12 :: OpenSUSE 12.3 machine. Boots but is not provisioned Some machines (read: the BSD-boxes) need the =VirtualBox Extension Pack= installed (because they have USB 2.0) * Scripts In the home directory these scripts are found - bootstrapFoam.sh :: A script whose aim it is to compile Foam and the ThirdParty-packages in one go (no paraview and QT). If this works the box is considered operational
