buildtools

Install buildtools on your system.

Example Playbook

This example is taken from molecule/resources/playbook.yml and is tested on each push, pull request and release.

---
- name: Converge
  hosts: all
  become: yes
  gather_facts: yes

  roles:
    - robertdebock.buildtools

The machine you are running this on, may need to be prepared, I use this playbook to ensure everything is in place to let the role work.

---
- name: Prepare
  hosts: all
  gather_facts: no
  become: yes

  roles:
    - robertdebock.bootstrap

After running this role, this playbook runs to verify that everything works, this may be a good example how you can use this role.

---
- name: Verify
  hosts: all
  become: no
  gather_facts: no

  tasks:
    - name: run gcc
      command: gcc --version

    - name: run make
      command: make --version

    - name: run shasum
      command: shasum --version

    - name: run bison
      command: bison --version

    - name: find libelf
      find:
        paths: /usr
        patterns: libelf.so.1
      register: buildtools_find_libelf

    - name: assert the results
      assert:
        that:
          - buildtools_find_libelf.matched >= 0
        msg: could not find libelf.so.1 in /usr


Also see a [full explanation and example](https://robertdebock.nl/how-to-use-these-roles.html) on how to use these roles.

Role Variables
--------------

These variables are set in `defaults/main.yml`:
```yaml
---
# defaults file for buildtools

Requirements

Access to a repository containing packages, likely on the internet.
A recent version of Ansible. (Tests run on the current, previous and next release of Ansible.)

The following roles can be installed to ensure all requirements are met, using ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml:

---
- robertdebock.bootstrap

Context

This role is a part of many compatible roles. Have a look at the documentation of these roles for further information.

Here is an overview of related roles:

Compatibility

This role has been tested on these container images:

container	tags
amazon	all
alpine	all
archlinux	all
debian	all
el	7, 8
fedora	all
opensuse	all
ubuntu	artful, bionic

The minimum version of Ansible required is 2.8 but tests have been done to:

The previous version, on version lower.
The current version.
The development version.

Exceptions

Some variarations of the build matrix do not work. These are the variations and reasons why the build won't work:

variation	reason
EL	No package matching 'bison' found available, installed or updated

Testing

Unit tests are done on every commit, pull request, release and periodically.

If you find issues, please register them in GitHub

Testing is done using Tox and Molecule:

Tox tests multiple ansible versions. Molecule tests multiple distributions.

To test using the defaults (any installed ansible version, namespace: robertdebock, image: fedora, tag: latest):

molecule test

# Or select a specific image:
image=ubuntu molecule test
# Or select a specific image and a specific tag:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox

Or you can test multiple versions of Ansible, and select images: Tox allows multiple versions of Ansible to be tested. To run the default (namespace: robertdebock, image: fedora, tag: latest) tests:

tox

# To run CentOS (namespace: `robertdebock`, tag: `latest`)
image="centos" tox
# Or customize more:
image="debian" tag="stable" tox
