Arjen:
Your comprehensive tests on MinGW-w64/MSYS2, Cygwin, and MSVC (+ Unix
tools to help with testing) are really important since they are
fundamental to improving our build system for those platforms. Nevertheless,
because 5.13.0 was late we jointly decided to make the
compromise of putting off some of your planned comprehensive testing
until after 5.13.0 was released. So now that that post-release time
has arrived what is the next test you have planned here?
Hi Arjen:
Could you please take a look at
<https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/Testing_PLplot/#Testing%20Reports>
where I have recently added a summary of your latest noninteractive
comprehensive test for MinGW-w64/MSYS2? In that summary I had to
guess at the wxwidgets version number. If I guessed wrong, please
update that version, and please also update any other thing in the
MinGW-w64/MSYS2 summary which you feel I got wrong as well.
(By the way, my recent commit to change how we test for wxwidgets
version number also outputs the wxwidgets version that has been found. So
I shouldn't have to guess any more about that from now on.)
Now that you have essentially complete noninteractive comprehensive
testing success with MinGW-w64/MSYS2, our wiki page
<https://sourceforge.net/p/plplot/wiki/MinGW-w64-MSYS2/> needs to be
updated from Greg's two-year-old experience to yours on this platform.
Also, all the MSYS2 URL's on that page have to be updated to refer to
the github version of the MSYS2 wiki, and the recommended list of
MinGW-w64/MSYS2, packages needs updating. Would you be willing to take
responsibiltiy for these updates to this wiki page?
Note, I haven't bothered in the above table of reports to summarize
your latest Cygwin and MSVC noninteractive tests because I
don't view those as complete yet, see my quoted question to you
above about the next comprehensive test you plan to do.
