Configuring Bamboo for make build system

[George Kovoor]

Is it possible to configure Bamboo to build the project using make build system

[EddieW · Accepted solution]

Yes, just ensure that make and releated dependencies are installed on the same server as bamboo, and avaialble to the bamboo user's PATH.

Then use the "command" tasks to write the required steps:

# ./configure
# make

is there a any way to monitor the execution, I am getting build timeout. Is there any documentation that lists the procedures for integrating with make system

With Bamboo 3.1+ it's easiest to use an Script Task (inline) for this.

Just put:

make "$@"

into the script body (assuming Unix, make %1 %2 %3 for Windows). You can then supply arguments directly to the script task.

Regarding monitoring, the output from make should be automatically included into your build log. If for some reason it does not end up there, you can also redirect it into a file like in a regular bash script/batch for debugging purposes.
