To Andrew, Jerry, Arjen, and Phil: There are some important questions below for you. I need those questions answered for the release notes (README.release) for the forthcoming release.
For example, when I am done with my testing, my test summary in README.release will read Comprehensive tests for a complete system build environment were run on 64-bit Debian Wheezy Linux on AMD-64 hardware. Comprehensive tests for a limited (qt, cairo, and wxwidgets PLplot components were dropped) epa_build environment were run on 64-bit Debian Wheezy Linux on AMD-64 hardware. Comprehensive tests for a complete epa_build environment were run on 64-bit Debian Wheezy Linux on AMD-64 hardware. Comprehensive tests for a limited (qt, cairo, and wxwidgets PLplot components were dropped) epa_build environment were run for 32-bit MinGW/MSYS/Wine on AMD-64 hardware. I need similar tests summaries from all of you that have run tests for this release. I give preliminary (and quite uncertain, see all the question marks) versions below. Please send back the corrected versions of these test summaries. In most cases the question marks should be quite easy to replace with your actual test data. However, the phrase "Limited tests??" is a bit of a special case. It should be replaced by one of "Comprehensive tests" (if you actually ran the scripts/comprehensive_test.sh script), a phrase summarizing the exact test you ran such as "ctest + the test_noninteractive target in the build tree" for intermediate testing, or "Limited tests" for those cases where you actually only did a few tests by hand. @Andrew: Limited tests?? for a complete system build environment were run on 64-bit?? Debian unstable on AMD-64 hardware?? Limited tests?? for a complete system build environment were run on 64-bit Ubuntu version?? on AMD-64 hardware? @Jerry: The Ada subset of the ctest tests were run in the build tree for a limited (what PLplot components were dropped??) build environment on Mac OS X (version??) on AMD-64 hardware?? @Arjen: Limited tests?? for a complete system build environment were run for 64-bit?? Cygwin on Windows (version ??) for AMD-64 hardware?? Limited tests?? for a limited (what PLplot components were dropped??) system build environment were run for 64-bit?? MinGW/MSYS on Windows (version ??) on AMD-64 hardware?? Limited tests?? for a limited (what PLplot components were dropped??) system build environment were run for 64-bit?? MSVC (version??) + Ifort (version??) compilers on 64-bit Windows (version ??) for AMD-64 hardware?? The "NMake Makefiles" generator yielded good results while the "Visual Studio 10" generator appropriate to the VS2010 IDE did not work indicating there are some CMake bugs for that generator that need to be addressed. @Phil: Limited tests?? for a limited (what PLplot components were dropped??) system build environment were run for both 32-bit and 64-bit MSVC (version??) compilers on 64-bit Windows (version ??) for AMD-64 hardware?? The "NMake Makefiles" generator yielded good results while the "Visual Studio 11" generator appropriate to the VS2012 IDE had some issues that could be worked around but which nevertheless indicated there are some CMake bugs for that generator that need to be addressed. The 3.0 version of wxwidgets was tried for these tests but required some CMake patches <available at http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14587 and http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=14642> to work.
