Scott Kostyshak 6cc9638dc2 Initial commit of lyx-tester 
These scripts help with building and testing LyX, mostly with the
ctest framework.

"lyxbuild" is a build script that has different options (e.g., to
compile with Clang/GCC, Qt 5/6, CMake/autotools). The build script
also has an option to cherry-pick compiler fixes which make it
easier to build older commits on newer compiler versions (useful
when performing a "git bisect"). See "lyxbuild --help" for more
information.

sudo ./lyx-tester

Description

These scripts help with testing LyX. The main idea is that you can clone this repo into a fresh Ubuntu install (e.g. in a virtual box) and run all LyX tests with just one command. This script does the following:

  • git clones and compiles the LyX master branch
  • installs the dependencies needed to run the tests (e.g. R, knitr, LilyPond, DocBook)
  • installs language dependencies (Hebrew and Chinese fonts)
  • runs install-tl-ubuntu (see below)
  • runs all of the tests (tex2lyx, autotests, and export tests)

lyx-tester runs install-tl-ubuntu, which does the following:

  • a full installation of the latest release of TeX Live.
  • notifies apt so that apt does not try to install the Ubuntu texlive-* packages as dependencies (e.g. if you do 'sudo apt-get install lyx')
  • installs (optionally) all of the LaTeX files that LyX templates and examples depend on
  • links to the folder where Ubuntu installs TeX files so that when you install packages with LaTeX (e.g. FoilTeX and noweb), they will be available.

Finally, the script ssh-lyx-tester dispatches lyx-tester to an ssh-server. I use this with Amazon's EC2. All one has to do is run the following ./ssh-lyx-tester
