Hi Arjen:
How do you expand the PATH? If you mean put /usr/bin on it, doesn't that
already
happen automatically when you set the appropriate shell for
MinGW-w64/MSYS2?
Oh, don't worry: when you start a MinGW-w64/MSYS2 shell or a Cygwin
shell for that matter, you get a dedicated path variable. In fact much
cleaner than the one a DOS-box starts with, as that accumulates a lot
of junk :(. I had to expand it to get access to git - it resides in
"c:\program files\git" and that is not part of the initial path.
Meanwhile, leaving out "git" has allowed CMake to continue without
much ado - CMake encounters a wxWidgets directory within the git
installation, but without the header files and then chokes, it seems.
For now I run the tests without git.
That sounds like absolutely the correct approach since from its
location the above version of git is obviously not part of the
MinGW-w64/MSYS2 platform (which is a big strike against that version
of git right from the start), and you further discovered including
"c:\program files\git" on your PATH brings additional problematic
baggage.
In fact, in the interest of getting these tests done as quickly and
easily as possible, let's forget about git on MinGW-w64/MSYS2 entirely
until after this release, i.e., when your current test with git
completes, please send me that report tarball, and with luck (no
showstopper issues revealed) that should be the last noninteractive
test you need to do for this platform before the 5.13.0 release.
Oops. That above key qualifying phrase should have read
"when your current test **without** git completes"
