Continuous Integration toolchains for .NET, Java, and other languages are relatively well defined, but the C++ market seems to have a lot of diversity.

G'day,

We actually faced this problem at a site where I was contracting previously.

One bloke sat down and wrote tools, mainly shell scripts, to

1. check out the current code base every hour or so and do a build to check if it was broken, and
2. check out the latest good build and do a complete build and run about 8,000 regression tests.

We just couldn't find anything commercially available to do this and so Charlie sat down and wrote this in bash shell scripts and it was running on HP-UX.

cheers, Rob
