Unclear how to build BuildXL for Linux #1302

Closed kjczarne closed 10 months ago

kjczarne commented 2 years ago

Hi,

The documentation states that one needs a Windows machine in order to build BuildXL for Linux and then it refers to a broken link. I'm talking specifically about this section.

The broken link that is being referred to is: https://github.com/microsoft/BuildXL/blob/master/Documentation/Wiki/Wiki/LinuxDevelopment/How_to_test.md

Is the support for Linux completely not there? Can I get some basic instructions on whether and how I could test distributed builds on Linux?

Hi @kjczarne. Sorry about the slow response to this issue! We have updated our Linux builds recently, you can now build on Linux with this command under the BuildXL repo root: ./bxl.sh -minimal

Please let me know if you hit any issues with that. Additionally, I will update the documentation for building on Linux very soon as well.

Thanks @pgunasekara I will try it out on Monday. Really happy to see Linux builds are now supported on Linux 😊
