Debugging configuration problems is a major problem. See e.g. the thread: configure on windows
Therefor I just added a switch --verbose to Configure.pl. It does two things. First it outputs all changes to configuration data so you can trace the effects of the individual tests. Second it shows the commandline of all externally run (test)programs and also its output. This is done in the same way as in Parrot::Test.pm so it should work on windows too. bye boe -- Juergen Boemmels [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fachbereich Physik Tel: ++49-(0)631-205-2817 Universitaet Kaiserslautern Fax: ++49-(0)631-205-3906 PGP Key fingerprint = 9F 56 54 3D 45 C1 32 6F 23 F6 C7 2F 85 93 DD 47
