About

This development log has been created to outline the experiences the Mere Idea development team has gone through while setting up a development environment. The tools of choice are:

  • SCons as a build tool
  • Unit Test ++ as a testing framework
  • Buildbot as an automated build system

The system will be tested by working through a test-driven development example (details to follow).

The aim is simply to keep a record of the highs and lows of putting together the system, and to maybe help someone else wanting to set these things up.

Scripts and code will be available in our svn repository so you can follow along, as details of the svn revision number relevant to the post will be given.

Note: Browsing the svn repository may be nicer through our websvn installation, but this requires a user name and password (you can use user name: guest and password mereguest).
