Compile Farms for Commercial Software?

Posted by Cliff on Tuesday December 10, 2002 @09:11AM from the for-unix-shops-with-low-hardware-budgets dept.

unix-coder asks: "How can a small software company get to 'rent' accounts for short times on a wide range of machines running different commercial Unixes with different CPUs? SourceForge's compiler farms are great for open source projects (and besides, open source projects will get ported/tested/fixed on all the platforms that matter to the people that use them). But what about commercial projects where you want to port/build/test for a wide range of architectures and OSes (AIX, HP-UX, IRIX, ...) but don't want your several server rooms full of weird hardware of your own?"

This person can barely communicate in written sentances. He doesnt really say what about SF's compile farm is lacking.
