commit 6442956542337f1d2d744d4b5ba621ce73a1e5af
In build/Makefile.in, the target "coretest" sets PARROT as an ENV
variable,
because t/02-embed/01-load.t needs to know the path to the parrot
executable.
PARROT=$(PARROT) $(PERL) t/harness t/00-parrot t/02-sanity t/02-embed
The method used to set PARROT is unix-specific, and fails under Win32.
Worse, since it is invalid syntax, the coretest target does not even
start to run.
Since the `test` target depends on coretest, `make test` will also
fail to start on Win32.
The spectest target is not dependent on coretest,
which is probably why this problem has not shown up in Smolder.
Solution:
1. In the Makefile, revert the code that added the "PARROT=$(PARROT)"
prefix to the coretest target's command.
2. In t/02-embed/01-load.t, add code to build parrot's full path from
$*VM<config>.
The attached patch is ready to push into the Rakudo master repo.
I will not push until after IRC discussion&agreement, since we are so
close to Rakudo release.
After release, we should consider making spectest_smolder depend on
coretest.
