Yes, and I'll add a test to build_installer.bat which will display a nice error message when APACHESRC is not set. > > Then (as non-root user!) > > > > $ cd test > > $ python test.py > > > > And see if any tests fail.

I'm curious as to the setup :-) No need to run configure (which would cause a bunch of problems on Windows). Just copy testconf.py.in to testconf.py and replace the @..@ macros manually. > I tried building myself and testing the py2.4 installer, but with both > the tests failed to start the Apache service and so universally failed. > This was with a manually created testconf.py > I'm not giving a -1 until I know I'm doing the right thing though :-) You're doing the right thing if you have something like this in testconf.py : HTTPD=r'c:\apache\bin\apache.exe' TESTHOME=r'D:\projets\mod_python\test' MOD_PYTHON_SO=r'C:\apache\MODULES\mod_python.so' LIBEXECDIR=r'C:\apache\modules' In any case this would be a -1 on the test framework, not on mod_python... > And I'd like to provide a way of doing this on Windows without configure > if possible All right, all right, I'll add a few lines of documentation to test/README.
