[Gnash-dev] Compile Farm

[Rob Savoye]

I've been using SourceForge's Compile Farm to test configuring and 
building Gnash on non 32 bit, x86 architectures. At the CF, they have 
powerpc, alpha, and AMD64 machines all running GNU/Linux, as well as 
NetBSD, OpenBSD, and OpenSolaris.

You can get all the details here: 
http://sourceforge.net/docs/compile_farm. It's pretty simple to get 
access if you already have a SourceForge account. You do have to add 
your SSH key separately for Compile Farm access, but once the cron job 
kicks in, you'll be able to ssh in by going to cf.sourceforge.net.

Although it supports CVS, I've been using rsync right out of my source 
tree. To rsync or scp, you go to the shell.sourceforge.net machine.

While I don't think most folks will need to use the CF, certain classes 
of changes, like eliminating compilation warnings, etc.. should ideally 
be tested before being checked in to reduce bug reports and "what the 
hey..." emails...
