Building from clean CVS download on Windows 2K w/VC++: Parrot Version 0.0.7 Configure 2.0 Configure.pl was crashing at the minimum pointer alignment test. In Step.pm there are two functions that run a test program: cc_run() and cc_run_capture(). In both cases the program is initiated with the string: ./test.exe <parm> 2>&1 which doesn't work under Windows (those durn backwards path separators). Either: .\test.exe <parm> 2>&1 or test.exe <parm> 2>&1 will work. I suppose that there is a flag indicating that the platform is Windows that could be used as a conditional in these two functions. I admit, I'm lazy, I deleted two characters in cc_run_capture() just to get it to run on my system. I didn't find it necessary to modify cc_run() for some reason. After that, everything compiled successfully and I ran the basic tests: All tests successful, 6 subtests skipped. mma > -----Original Message----- > From: jgoff@[207.144.19.38] [mailto:jgoff@[207.144.19.38]]On Behalf Of > Jeff > Sent: Thursday, July 18, 2002 9:30 PM > To: perl6-internals@perl.org; perl6-language@perl.org; > perl6-announce@perl.org; perl5-porters@perl.org > Subject: [RELEASE] Parrot 007: Secret Agent Bird > > Welcome to version 0.0.7 of Parrot. > > To get the latest CVS version: > http://cvs.perl.org/ > > has the information you need. > > Once you've unpacked Parrot, build it as follows: > > perl Configure.pl > make > make test >Thread Previous | Thread Next
