Multi-Project Multi-Platform Multi-Compiler builds: Best practices

[Joel Bodenmann]

I am setting up GoCD to build a number of different projects (about 10) but all of them being C++ projects built with CMake on the same three platforms (Windows, FreeBSD, Linux) with the two compilers on each platform (GCC & Clang).

My question: From personal experience and/or GoCD design philosophy, is it better to have one common "Project-Build-OS" and then create a lot of pipelines from that template each time specifying the OS & Compiler via parameters or is it recommended to have one "build" template per project?

I understand that this is a very open question depending on a lot of different factors - most likely including personal preferences. However, if users more experienced with GoCD could share their opinion I'd be delighted.

Best regards,

This is an interesting question about pipeline composition and organisation. I'm going to think about this a bit and respond.

Thanks for asking this.
