Hi all! As we agreed on #pypy-sync, I've spent the last days in investigating & testing the translation of pypy-c under Windows.
My box runs Windows XP SP 1 under vmware. To get a C compiler I installed the C++ package of Visual Studio .NET 2003; maybe it could work also with other version of Visual Studio, I don't know. Surprisingly enough, the translation of pypy-c worked out of the box :-). I only had to install the windows version of boehm using the howto in the docstring of goal/win32/gc_path_windows.py, then ./translate. Then, I ran the lib-python tests against pypy-c.exe. The results are here: http://codespeak.net/~antocuni/pypy-c-win32-results/ Some of the failures are quite easy to explain (for example, test_thread fails because threading was disabled :-)), some other are very strange. Btw, more than 90% of tests passes. To run the tests I had to manually disable test_mailbox.py, because it couldn't cleanup the @test directory it creates and this caused next tests to fail. I tried to investigate a bit in that direction, then I remembered that windows sucks and I gave up :-). ciao Anto _______________________________________________ [email protected] http://codespeak.net/mailman/listinfo/pypy-dev
