Can I use Biicode to install GCC 4.9 and Clang 3.5 on Travis?


Currently, the following except from my .travis.yml file:

before_install:
  - wget http://apt.biicode.com/install.sh && chmod +x install.sh && ./install.sh
  - bii setup:cpp

Produces the following output:

$ bii setup:cpp

I've check for options to the bii setup:cpp command but can't seem to find anything about this, am I missing something or do I have to install them externally to bii?


Solution

  • Nop. The command bii setup:cpp is very basic, just for C++ newbies and for a quick basic setup of mainstream gcc based compilers. You can see the source code: https://github.com/biicode/client/blob/develop/setups/installers/gnu_compiler_installer.py#L9

    If you want to install in travis-ci those compilers, it can be sometimes quite tricky. I suggest using the scripts in https://github.com/biicode/misc. You can probably directly wget them and execute from your travis build.
