Jenkins is a dispatcher only. It dispatches jobs to any number of slave
machines. You'll have to set up a slave (typically a VM that you have
access to), which can build and test ooRexx. If this works, you can tell
the Jenkins build server about it, and have it schedule automatic builds.
I've done above on a Ubuntu 16.04 VM, and have successfully added it to our
Jenkins build server. Any repository changes will now automatically
trigger a build, a test, and a copy of the resulting install image to the
ooRexx sourceforge files section for anyone to download.
René will have to set a Jenkins build server account for you, and I'd be
more than willing to help with any questions you have.
