Hi,

since a while 'languages/dotnet' showed up as all red in unified
languages testing, which is
invoked with "make languages-test". The culprits were the usual bunch:
@INC and pathes to executables.

I have expanded the library search path in the test scripts. Also
DotnetTesting.pm now asks
Parrot::Test for the path to the parrot executable.

Could somebody check for breakage on Windows?
Any other suggestions?

1) remove the need of the file languages/dotnet/config/N2PConfig.pm
2) generate languages/dotnet/Makefile with config/gen/languages.pm, not with languages/dotnet/Configure.pl


While this isn't currently how most languages operate, I like this way better. =-)

As a language person, I'd rather actually have the makefile generated by the language, not parrot. Makes it easier when you're working on the language. Also allows you to remove any language specific config probes from parrot-wide configure.

Getting the languages *more* self-contained is a good thing. (I don't have a good answer for a dozen very similar Configure.pl scripts at the moment, though.)

Regards.

François.

CU, Bernhard
