Unlike the other operating systems which have a bash script that runs
on Linux and scripts qemu to prepare a GCE image, the Windows image
builder image is prepared by hand, following this list of
instructions:
-- in GCE, create a new Windows 2008 server instance. Set its initial username
to "wingopher" and the password to something.
-- boot it. first boot is slow.
-- Connect with RDP to it. (I used the OS X Microsoft Remote Desktop
in the Mac App Store)
-- In initial “Initial Configuration Tasks” window:
* disable automatic installation of updates. Theyll just interrupt
the builds later. And we don't care about security since this isn't
going to be Internet-facing. No ports will be accessible
* disable Windows Error Report (“Not participating”)
TODO: disable the Windows firewall too. might break some outgoing net
tests? Figure out where to do this.
-- Enable auto-login:
* Start > Run > Open: "control userpasswords2" [OK]
* Uncheck the "Users must enter a user name..." box (it already was
unchecked for me)
* Press "OK"
* Enter password twice.
-- Download winstrap.
* Bring up cmd.exe (Start > Run > "cmd" [OK])
* Copy/paste (Right click: paste) this into cmd.exe:
bitsadmin /transfer mydownloadjob /download /priority normal https://storage.googleapis.com/winstrap/winstrap-2015-01-03-440bb77.exe c:\users\wingopher\Desktop\winstrap.exe
* It should appear on the desktop.
-- double click winstrap. type "go" and press <enter>. abort it once
it's downloaded everything. (close the window)
-- make the Buildlet start on boot:
* Start > All Programs > right click "Startup"
* Right-mouse-drag "Start Buildlet" from the desktop (from winstrap) to the
Startup folder and "Create shortcuts here"
-- Install git with middle option: "Use Git from Windows Command Prompt",
otherwise all the defaults.
-- click yes yes yes on the tdm64-gcc installer question defaults.
Then do the tdm64-gcc installer again but do 32-bit this time. You
should then have two TDM installs at c:\TDM-GCC-64 and
c:\TDM-GCC-32. Dont pick other locations. The gobuilder adds
those to your path.
TODO(bradfitz): this document is incomplete. Cover gcesysprep,
regedit(?), windows-startup-script-cmd, etc. And I think winstrap
will need to write things to something outside of C:\Users, since
sysprep on reboot nukes all users, at least on GCE. We probably need
to run the buildlet's stage0 from the windows-startup-script-cmd. Find
& ask Windows experts.
