I've started to hack up a little script to chain smoke Parrot. It's
quite simple, all it currently does is:
for each test configuration
* copy (a hopefully clean) 'trunk' to a smoke directory
* wipe the environment and replace with a controlled one (mostly
Path, Include, Lib and http_proxy, but could contain anything
necessary).
* perl Configure.pl
* $make
* $make smoke
* $make languages-smoke
* delete the temporary smoke directory
The current configurations are:
Visual C++ 6.0, 7.1, 8.0, 9.0 and
(MinGW) GCC 3.4.2, 4.2.1
no dependencies (i.e., no ICU, no GMP, ...)
both "regular" and "--optimized"
Next I'd like to add all optional dependencies as another build
configuration dimension, probably bundled together into a smoke chamber
to isolate them from my remaining system.
If someone is interested in this, or if you have an idea how to make it
more useful, please let me know.
As a first result, it seems like Parrot r23791 fails to build using
Visual C++ 6.0 or 7.1, optimized.
