I've hit this too - I'll try and raise issues over the weekend for them if I can. My plan is to start by writing unit tests if only get a feel for how all the project fits together. Building and testing on Linux is so slow due to the lack of incremental builds that starting with OS X seemed logical. I thought it was a problem at my end though when the tests failed on OS X. Is there a reason why corelibs-foundation isn't build for OS X by the CI system? Regards, Rob...
