Well, lua configuration is still an issue with CMake-2.8.9, MinGW-4.7.0, and Wine-1.5.16. But after 4 minutes of looping it did the Wine equivalent of a segfault. So just on the off-chance our Lua find module is using CMake in a strange manner that leads to memory management issues that we can detect on the Linux side of things, I will set up a Linux test (sometime next week because there is a lot on my plate at the moment) to try Lua configuration under valgrind in as similar circumstances (no Lua available on my system) as on the Wine platform. However, there is a really neat result as well I found for the above cutting-edge versions; the module parsing issue with f95 that has been around as long as I have been Fortran testing on Wine (at least a couple of years) have all disappeared! I suspect it was the change from wine-1.5.15 to wine-1.5.16 (which included a bug fix that greatly affected CMake another way) that is the key difference here. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
