Not to worry, I have a one-line fix for that problem. Mingw32-make
treats '\*' as a backslash escaping an asterisk, so it turns that into
just '*'. I changed lib/Parrot/Configure/Step.pm to substitute '\\*'
for '\*'. I can now run 'make test'.
I have only tested this patch with mingw32-make, so I would appreciate
it if others could test it with nmake / dmake to make sure they don't
choke on the extra backslashes.
leo,
this patch (#36290) works for me.
There are 2 choices :
1) revert the patch that creates the revision 8298
2) not revert and add its complement ie. #36290
But it's not possible to stay in the current position.
