[PATCH for-5.1] Add GitHub action for Windows build
Posted by Stefan Weil 3 years, 8 months ago
The GitHub action is restricted to https://github.com/qemu/qemu.

Signed-off-by: Stefan Weil <sw@weilnetz.de>
---

This patch adds a GitHub action for continuous integration builds
of QEMU for Windows.

The CI builds run on GitHub and include the WHPX code.
The action rules avoid unnecessary waste of resources by
limiting the GitHub action to the official mirror.

Peter, maybe this can still be added to 5.1.
There should be no risk as it only adds the GitHub action.

Regards,
Stefan

Since it is based on Ubuntu, we should be able to run it on GitLab
directly (and simplifies our CI). Also we could drop the Shippable
docker images too.

This works, so:

But I'm not keen on not using GitLab instead.

The only point I see of using GitHub/Azureus is if we then install
and run testing in the Windows Server 2019 environment:

That should be possible. The required packages are available from
Cygwin, and Cygwin also provides the same Mingw-w64 compilers as the
typical Linux distributions. QEMU builds take much longer on Windows, so
implementing and testing this will need much patience. Maybe it is also
possible to combine a cross build on Ubuntu with a test part on Windows
Server.

Agreed, I realllly don't want to see us introduce yet another CI
environment. This increases the cost for maintainers and contributors
alike. Especially as we're introducing GitLab as our gating CI
platform, we need to be doing whatever we can to consolidate stuff
onto GitLab CI, not adding new CI systems.

For things we can't do in GitLab CI directly, we need to use a
shim job in GitLab that calls out to the alternative service
and sends results back, so that we still have GitLab as the
single portal to watch all jobs. eg  cirrus-run for integrating
with Cirrus CI.

Cirrus CI has the ability to provide Windows Service 2019 containers
too, and since we already use Cirrus CI and can integrate it with
GitLab via cirrrus-run, I think that's preferrable to GitHub.
