=Overview=<br />
<br />
The Slicer factory machine is maintained by [http://www.kitware.com Kitware] and produces dashboard builds of many software projects, including nightly, continuous, and packaged versions of Slicer and its approved extensions. See the [http://slicer.cdash.org/index.php?project=Slicer4 Slicer4 dashboard].<br />
<br />
These builds are generated every day on three different operating systems: Windows 7, Mac OS X, and Linux. Because it is not legal to run any version of Mac OS X on a virtual machine (unless its host also runs Mac OS X), the host OS is Mac OS X, and the Windows and Linux builds are run within this machine as virtual machines.<br />
<br />

The factory machine runs Mac OS X v10.6.8, Snow Leopard. <br />
* CMake version: 3.0.1<br />
* Compiler llvm-3.1. Note that the default compiled shipped with XCode 4.2 is not used. See [http://slicer-devel.65872.n3.nabble.com/MacOSX-factory-build-Transitioning-from-hybrid-quot-llvm-g-quot-to-quot-clang-quot-Update-to-Qt-4-8-6-tt4032198.html#a4032199 here] for more details.<br />
* Tasks scheduled using [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron cron]<br />
<br />
Remote access: Via SSH or VNC from Kitware internal network (192.168.113.241).<br />

The first tab is a command to update the cvs repository storing all of Kitware's dashboard scripts. The second is a bash script which runs all of the nightly builds done by the Mac OS X factory. The rest correspond to all the continuous builds. An example of an entry in the bash script is as follows:<br />
<pre><br />
open -a x11<br />
export DISPLAY=:0.0 # just DISPLAY=:0.0 without export is not enough<br />
export PATH=:/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH<br />
<br />

The scripts on this VM are very similar to those on the Host.<br />
<br />
=== Remote access ===<br />
This machine is accessible through SSH and remote VNC. It has been configured with its own static IP, and should be accessed by VNC through this IP instead of through a VNC connection on the Mac Host. Do not try to connect through VNC to this machine on the Host.<br />
<br />
===Known issues===<br />
* X crash / GLX" missing on display. See [http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=2468 #2468]: '''FIXED'''<br />
* Beside the fact Parallel has been updated, the X server still crash and auto-login does NOT succeed. See [http://www.na-mic.org/Bug/view.php?id=2624 #2624]: '''FIXED'''<br />
