While working on some windows specific patches, I was trying to run the tests suite without using msys shell (or mingw or whatever else but VC+SDK) but it is not possible as far as I can see. Has anyone worked on running the tests suite on windows without using msys or previously built using mingw on windows?
No, it has not been made to happen by anyone to my knowledge. I'm sure there's a lot to do to make it better on Windows but it really takes for someone familiar with that platform to work on it. Which excludes me.
There are a lot of posix related dependencies in the tests script but I wonder if it would be welcome or possible to add the necessary pieces to allow the tests to be executed without posix deps.
I would love to have the tests possible to run on "plain" Windows as well, as I'm sure it'll give us better test coverage and thus result in a better tested product and eventually higher quality code for everyone!
