A PCRE internal error occured. This might be caused by a faulty plugin

====== Daniel Verkamp: Automated regression testing ====== ===== Journal Week 2 ===== ==== Monday, June 1 ==== ==== Tuesday, June 2 ==== Got a working BuildBot master and slave set up on a Debian machine; notes on [[soc:2009:dverkamp:notes:buildbot]]. It is currently running at http://pine.drv.nu:8010/ (although it might be down temporarily sometimes as I work on it). So far, it is checking out the latest gPXE source from Git and building it (see the build logs on the BuildBot web interface; currently this is an incremental build with no make clean step, but that can easily be changed). ==== Wednesday, June 3 ==== === Linux serial console === Experimenting with Linux serial console for testing purposes; in conjunction with qemu's -serial stdio and -nographic, this should allow easy automated testing of Linux kernel booting. Example: (append to kernel command line; this line works fine for qemu) console=ttyS0,115200 === mkbootfs === Building a basic Linux environment with [[http://git.etherboot.org/?p=people/mcb30/mkbootfs.git|mkbootfs]]; need to install uClibc first, so I am setting up a toolchain with [[http://buildroot.uclibc.org/|Buildroot]]. ==== Thursday, June 4 ==== More uClibc build wrangling; the toolchain was missing pieces (cc1, at least), so I rebuilt it, but now it seems to be dynamically linked against uClibc, which is not available on the host. Following directions at http://buildroot.uclibc.org/buildroot.html but the instructions are not completely clear when it comes to building only a toolchain usable on the host. ==== Friday, June 5 ==== Made some progress with mkrootfs build; found the proper uClibc tools in buildroot's build_i686/staging_dir/usr/bin directory, but named as i686-linux-*, so now my uclibc wrapper script looks like this: #!/bin/sh export PATH=~/src/buildroot/buildroot-2009.05/build_i686/staging_dir/usr/bin:$PATH export CROSS_COMPILE=i686-linux- $@ Now I am hitting a problem with uClibc configuration (need large file support, which wasn't enabled in my build), so I must rebuild uClibc, but things are looking better. Had IRC meeting with mcb30, mdc, and AndyTim - set goals for week 3 (write up and execute 4 test cases).
