Steps needed to test nqp-rx against Parrot:
1. Build and install parrot
2. Check out a clean copy of nqp-rx from http://github.com/perl6/nqp-rx.git
(or use 'make realclean' in an existing checkout)
3. In the nqp-rx directory:
perl Configure.pl --parrot-config=$PARROT_INSTALL/bin/parrot_config
make test
There should be no failures; as of 2011-01-06, nqp-rx's policy will
be that there are no ongoing "known failures" in the nqp-rx test suite.
If nqp-rx is known to be failing a given test, the test is either
commented out or nqp-rx is fixed such that "make test" always shows
no failures, unless the cause of the failure is something that is
broken outside of nqp-rx itself. ("make test" may show passing TODO's,
however.)
The total time needed to perform steps 2 and 3 on my system is less
than 90 seconds. Unlike Rakudo, nqp-rx does not require an overly
large memory footprint to build and/or run.
