I'm starting to contribute to DMD by fixing some bugs, but I need to
run the test-suite. Anyone know how this is done on win32? There's a
makefile in the test dir but what I don't know is if I need to set up
my directory structure in any special way?
It's GNU makefile.
You need:
1. MinGW
2. unzip.exe (I use this one:
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/unzip.htm) - it must be in the
PATH env. var.
Next:
3. copy your modified dmd.exe to x:\dmd\windows\bin (this is the most
straightforward way)
4. run MinGW and cd to /x/dmd/src/dmd/test
5. make DMD=/x/dmd/windows/bin/dmd
where x is your drive letter.
By default make runs all tests, but you can select smaller area with
these targets:
run_runnable_tests
run_compilable_tests
run_fail_compilation_tests
for example: make run_compilable_tests DMD=/x/dmd/windows/bin/dmd
After all, use make clean to delete test results.
P.S. I couldn't manage to run the tests without copying the dmd. Without
a copy I constantly encountered missing object.d file errors, even if I
set correct paths to druntime/import.
