You can read the documentation for the legacy Crazy Fun Build tool.

Building Selenium with Buck

The easiest thing to do is to just run “./go”. The build process will download the right version of Buck for you so long as there’s no .nobuckcheck file in the root of the project. The download ends up in buck-out/crazy-fun/HASH/buck.pex where HASH is the value of the current buck version (given in the .buckversion file in the root of the project.

If you’d like to build and run our fork of Buck, then:

git clone https://github.com/SeleniumHQ/buck.git
cd buck && ant
export PATH=`pwd`/bin:$PATH
cd ~/src/selenium 
buck build chrome firefox htmlunit remote leg-rc
buck test --all

Updating the buck.pex

Should you need to update the version of Buck that is downloaded:

• Checkout the source to Buck and build the PEX: buck build --show-output buck
• Figure out the git hash of the version you’ve just built. Normally that’ll be the HEAD of master. Put that full hash into the .buckversion of the main selenium project.
• Put the md5 hash of the PEX into the .buckhash file in the main selenium project.
• Create a new release of SeleniumHQ’s Buck fork on GitHub. The name is buck-release-$VERSION, where $VERSION is whatever’s in .buckversion in the main selenium project.
• Upload the PEX to the release, and make the release public.
• Commit the changes to the main selenium project and push them.
