Building Jenkins

Jenkins version 1.651.2 has been successfully built and tested for Linux on z Systems. The following instructions can be used for RHEL 6.6, RHEL 7.1, SLES 11, SLES 12 and Ubuntu 16.04.

General Notes:
i) When following the steps below please use a standard permission user unless otherwise specified.

ii) A directory /<source_root>/ will be referred to in these instructions, this is a temporary writeable directory anywhere you'd like to place it.

Step 1: Install the dependencies

Following are the build dependencies for Jenkins:

git (RHEL6/7 and Ubuntu 16.04) or git-core (SLES11/12)
Maven

Dependencies Installation Notes:

Git can be installed on RHEL6/7 using the command below.
```
      sudo yum install -y git
```
Git can be installed on SLES11/12 using the command below.
```
      sudo zypper install -y git-core
```
Git can be installed on Ubuntu 16.04 using the command below
```
      sudo apt-get install -y git
```
To install Maven

For RHEL6/7 and SLES11/12 Please refer to the Maven recipe.

For Ubuntu 16.04

     sudo apt-get install -y maven
	 export MAVEN_OPTS="-Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=1024m"

To install Java, use the command below,(Only for Ubuntu 16.04)

      sudo apt-get install openjdk-8-jdk
  	export JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-s390x
  	export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

Step 2: Build Jenkins

Get the source (clone branch 1.651.2 )

  	cd /<source_root>/
      git clone https://github.com/jenkinsci/jenkins.git
  	cd /<source_root>/jenkins
  	git checkout jenkins-1.651.2

Build the source code using mvn command

  	cd /<source_root>/jenkins
  	mvn clean install -pl war -am -DskipTests

To execute test cases [optional]
```
  	mvn clean install -pl war -am
```
Note: User can ignore intermittent test-case failures as it does not affect the functionality (jenkins.security.DefaultConfidentialStoreTest, hudson.LauncherTest and hudson.util.io.TarArchiverTest are the test cases that fail due to wrongly set file path permissions)

After building jenkins, a jenkins.war will be created in jenkins/war/target folder.

Step 3: Deploy Jenkins

Refer to the Deploy section of Apache Tomcat recipe for deploying jenkins.war on Apache Tomcat.
