Build Vagrant Base Box

A GNU Make Makefile drives the process via the following targets:

$ make build # Build the box
$ make test  # Run tests
$ make clean # Clean up stamp files

Makefile variable(s)

The variable(s) can be currently used are:

• PROVIDER

Possible values for the PROVIDER are:

• virtualbox (default)
• vmware

If you build the vagrant base box for vmware, the value of PROVIDER should be vmware. For example with vmware:

$ make build PROVIDER=vmware
$ make test  PROVIDER=vmware
