Hi My MSWIndows build runs on a dedicated virtual (Virtualbox) openSUSE machine. I start the build process with just one call, The host is currently a Mint environment. So it is possible to automatically generate new versions. However "make check" makes no sense. when cross compiling. It takes a long time and only a small part of the checks are Ok.
Maybe it is possible to change "make check" so it only includes the checks which work on the platform it uses or with a parameter to get the same effect. This way for MacOS a few checks are skipped and for MSWindows builds in cross compiling only a few checks are triggered. At least after that it is known which checks can be executed and the issues with the checks for cross compiling can be solved if there is time.
