Engineering: Integrate travis-ci build

[kelson42]

I think at this stage this is the highest priority.

I'm happy to do my part. Can you help in terms of getting a kiwix-lib package so we don't need to also build it?

[kelson42]

@julianharty I think the nightly builds/CI should compile everything statically in the so file. Like for kiwix-tools for example. It might take a few months before we get a deb package of kiwix-lib. For now, nobody is working on the RPM.

[julianharty]

By should do you mean it does? today? I ask as I can't find anything that seems appropriate.

http://download.kiwix.org/nightly/2017-05-18/ is the last that has what might be all the nightly files successfully build. Of these the only one that I thought might have the library is kiwix-tools however it doesn't. Also, last night's nightly is empty as is http://download.kiwix.org/nightly/latest/ (presumably as it's currently pointing to yesterday's folder).

If you could provide a link to somewhere on download.kiwix.org (or similar) where I can obtain a viable kiwix-lib then I'm happy to incorporate it, either dynamically if the link is suitable (e.g. if it points to a 'latest' folder that'll have the library reliably) or statically (where I can add the library file into this codebase and use it each time kiwix-android is built).

Thank you.

@julianharty The kiwix-lib is not provided but all the rest should and is compiled staticaly so far. The only use case where it should not is in the case the CI builds a package IMO.

That said, temporary compiled libraries (including kiwix-lib) are available here:
http://tmp.kiwix.org/ci/

I'm confused... So how are we going to compile the Apache module in a CI? it relies on kiwix-lib which doesn't seem to be available :( From what I can tell this library isn't available anywhere in a location this project can use. We have plans to make it available e.g. as a Debian package but that's unlikely to happen any time soon. One option could be for us to build kiwix-lib locally as a sub-project - not an option I'm very keen to pursue. Or I can build a local copy 'on my machine' and upload the library, not ideal either, but probably workable if we want to get the CI up-and-running soon. Or the library does exist somewhere where it's built reliably, consistently, etc. in which case we can depend on it here :) From what I remember you @Kelson you'd would like this project to have a CI build as the top priority. However without kiwix-lib we can't build the Apache module. For now I'm learning about using Google Test which is keeping me busy. If/when the library is reliably available I'm happy to configure the CI. And even if it isn't, eventually, I'll do something so we can get the CI working for this project. To be clear I'm very happy for someone to configure this project so that we can implement a CB using Travis-ci, etc.

The project is stalled since many years and has not reached the v1.0. Archiving the project. Please contact @julianharty if you are interested to work on the project.
