Install necessary packages to the newly created windows build agent for openPASS

Summary

In accordance with the matter raised in the following issue: #3687 (closed), it is notified that the Windows build agent denoted as 'Agent 9pfnn-win10' has been made accessible for openPASS. Considering that this particular Windows build agent is a recent addition to the system and currently lacks any pre-installed packages, it is to request the installation of specific packages on this aforementioned Windows build agent. This action is needed to facilitate the seamless integration of the build agent into the openPASS Continuous Integration (CI) framework.

To implement the installation of the requisite packages, we kindly request the execution of the script setup_env.cmd. Please ensure that the script is run with the installation path provided as an argument. We kindly request you to use a shorter installation path, for instance, "C:\op," for the execution of the script. For ex: Run the script as follows "setup_env.cmd C:\op". Additionally, we wish to bring to your attention that the aforementioned script accesses several documents within the repository. Consequently, it is strongly recommended to utilize the branch linked above for the execution process. This ensures compatibility and coherence with the referenced documents during script execution. If required, the script can be executed manually as well.

Anticipated Failure: MSVCRT Installation in the event it is already installed.

This script is designed to install Python on the Windows operating system, followed by the incorporation of msys and several additional msys packages essential for the optimal functioning of openPASS. We would also like to draw your attention to the fact that during the execution of this script, it may necessitate manual confirmation multiple times, typically around 3-4 instances, when installing the required packages.

Furthermore, we would appreciate clarification on whether there exists a designated label for this Windows agent. Please be informed that we are already using a Windows agent with the label "Windows". Therefore, we would like to use a different label for this new Windows agent as it would facilitate in using both the agents.

Your cooperation in executing this script is greatly appreciated, as it will contribute to the establishment of a comprehensive and fully-equipped environment for openPASS.

@nmraghu jenkins agent is online. Can you give a try?

Thank you very much for making it online. Could you please share with us the "label" for the new Windows agent, so that we can try it on Jenkins

agent was disconnected. Now is back online. Labels are: "windows" and "windows10"

Thank you for the prompt response. We were able to access the new Windows build agent through Jenkins. However, there are couple of issue that we noticed.

1. With label "windows" or "windows10" both old and new Windows build agent are getting spawned. However, we would like to have as following. When the label "windows" is used in Jenkins, only old windows build agent should be used and whenthe label "windows10" is used, then only the "new windows build agent" should be used. Could you please help us with setting it up

2. Also, we noticed that no packages are installed in msys of "new Windows build agent" and we could not find the installation path of Python. Could you please help us with the installation of required packages

1. Labels have been changed
2. The script created both entries: c:\op\msys64 and c:\op\Python, please find logs installation here: setup_env.log

Thank you for the feedback. We still find certain packages missing on msys and python environment. Could you please help us with the installation of these packages.

1. Missing msys packages (can be installed through pacman package manager):

diffutils dos2unix expat git glib2 heimdal icu make mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk-update-icon-cache mingw-w64-x86_64-gtk2 mingw-w64-x86_64-gtkglext mingw-w64-x86_64-libtool mingw-w64-x86_64-openexr mingw-w64-x86_64-pcre openssh patch

2. Missing python package

"conan>2.0"

Just for the information, the missing python package is from native python installation (c:\op\Python)

I have installed all packages. Hope this will work

Thank you for the prompt response. Unfortunately I could not confirm as the new Windows build agent (label: windows10) is offline since yesterday. Could you please help us in turning this build agent back to online.

the windows 10 agent is back online!

Unfortunately, we have memory issues on the new windows build agent. We have noticed that the allocated memory for the new windows build agent is quite low at 4,045 MB and the available memory is only at 1,396 MB. Could you please help us in increasing the limit to atleast 16 GB

@nmraghu the agent sizing has been upgraded with 4cpu and 16GB of RAM. Should be better now

Thank you for the quick response. Now, we have a new problem with installed version of the sphinx package. Could you please update the installed sphinx package with pacman -Syu mingw-w64-x86_64-python-sphinx on msys

Done. Can you test it?

It looks like there is still one more location where sphinx needs to be updated.

Could you please update Sphinx here to version 7.2.6

Done!

See new dependencies versions list:

Perfect. Just one more package is missing on msys. Could you please help us with installing "zip" package on msys using pacman -S zip I hope it would be one final package to be installed on new Windows build agent

Final package has been installed
