marionette-windows

This is a project that's used to build build marionette for windows. We use a combination of mingw and wine within a VM to do the build process.

quickstart

Given that marionette is a private repo we need to clone it manually.

*** note: this build can take 20-30 minutes ***

$ git clone git@github.com:kpdyer/marionette-windows-builder.git
$ cd marionette-windows-builder/build
$ git clone git@github.com:redjack/marionette.git
$ cd ..
$ vagrant up

... wait ...

$ ls -al dist
marionette-latest.zip

Upon success, the vagrant up command should produce a zipfile in dist/marionette-latest.zip which has all the dependencies (.pyc, .pyd, .dll files) required to run marionette, and two binaries marionette_client.exe and marionette_server.exe.

In the build machines bootstrap.sh is executed which invokes build_marionette.py and package_marionette.py. These two scripts install marionette in the VM and create the zip.

dependencies

• Vagrant
• An Ubuntu box. This has been tested with version 20150611.0.0 of ubuntu/precise32, provided by hashicorp.
  • To install use vagrant box add ubuntu/precise32

important scripts

• build_marionette.py runs all tasks in marionette_windows.tasks that are required to run marionette.
• package_marrionete.py once we have all deps. installed, this will create a zip with all the dependencies and our exes.
• marionette_windows/tasks.py has all of the tasks we run. do_task has the logic for each task (create dir, compile somthing, etc.) and is_successful checks if do_task completeled properly.
