Thanks for the report. I'll see if I can fine-tune any of these tests, but the failures are in the testsuite and not the built executable, so I'm okay with releasing even if these still fail. > Checking ../../checks/021.macro_argu > @ ../doc/m4.texi:1607: Origin of test > ../../checks/021.macro_argu: stderr mismatch > --- m4-tmp.432/m4-xerr 2021-05-14 02:31:09.407442400 +0200 > +++ m4-tmp.432/m4-err 2021-05-14 02:31:09.296595600 +0200 > @@ -1,2 +1,2 @@ > -C:\cygwin64\home\bruno\m4-2021-05-13\build-mingw64\src\m4.exe:stdin:1: > Warning: too few arguments to builtin `index' > -C:\cygwin64\home\bruno\m4-2021-05-13\build-mingw64\src\m4.exe:stdin:3: > Warning: excess arguments to builtin `index' ignored > +m4.exe:stdin:1: Warning: too few arguments to builtin `index' > +m4.exe:stdin:3: Warning: excess arguments to builtin `index' ignored Failures like this look like we just need to fix the sed script in checks/check-them to properly filter the name output by native Windows. > Checking ../../checks/194.syscmd > @ ../doc/m4.texi:6592: Origin of test > ../../checks/194.syscmd: stdout mismatch > --- m4-tmp.432/m4-xout 2021-05-14 02:37:05.500248600 +0200 > +++ m4-tmp.432/m4-out 2021-05-14 02:37:05.298096600 +0200 > @@ -1,3 +1,2 @@ > > -foo > > @ ../doc/m4.texi:6592: Origin of test > ../../checks/194.syscmd: stderr mismatch > --- m4-tmp.432/m4-xerr 2021-05-14 02:37:05.875718100 +0200 > +++ m4-tmp.432/m4-err 2021-05-14 02:37:05.735120300 +0200 > @@ -0,0 +1,2 @@ > +m4.exe: syscmd subprocess failed: No such file or directory > +m4.exe:stdin:2: cannot run command `echo foo': No such file or directory These will indeed be hairier to fix, especially since it has now been a long time since I've used a Windows machine. -- Eric Blake, Principal Software Engineer Red Hat, Inc. +1-919-301-3266 Virtualization: qemu.org | libvirt.org
