Hi Andrew, I just svn-ed the latest and I got the same error. I'm no parrot expert but it appears it's looking for the include file .include 'src/abc_gen.pir' and there's no such file. It appears the generated (?) abc_gen.pir file isn't there. Other langs have that (lua/src/lua.pir) so my

Re: [perl #43081] [p6] Get p6 tests from pugs.

2007-05-31 Thread Paul Cochrane
For now, add a make target for p6 (similar to tcl's 'make tcl-test') that copies an export of the latest version of these tests into languages/perl6/t/spec/ (NOT under parrot version control). What would be the best way to get the sources? I would suggest using rsync to pull the sources

Relocation of the pod_todo.t test
