2.2.1 Common Requirements

At a bare minimum, you'll need the following for both the buildmaster and a buildslave:

Of course, your project's build process will impose additional requirements on the buildslaves. These hosts must have all the tools necessary to compile and test your project's source code.

Windows Support

Buildbot - both master and slave - runs well natively on Windows. The slave runs well on Cygwin, but because of problems with SQLite on Cygwin, the master does not.

Buildbot's windows testing is limited to the most recent Twisted and Python versions. For best results, use the most recent available versions of these libraries on Windows.

Note that versions of MSys Git earlier than 1.7.3.1 are known to have problems with incorrect exit statuses from git commands. Always use the newest version of MSys Git.
