Maybe it's a good idea to enhance the make check and make fullcheck targets to run FLAC through wine if requested, just like there's a configure switch to test with valgrind. That reminds me that there is some problem with running the tests under Wine. That will have to be fixed of course, but Wine still only runs 32 bit windows binaries. What I did for libsndfile was generate a binary test suite tarball that could be untarred on the target system where the tests needed to be run. I'll probably do something like that.

[flac-dev] The next release (pre-compiled windows and mac binaries)
Hi all, I consider the last FLAC release a huge success. I expected to release something with far more bugs and then be forced into another bug fix release in short order. Its seems the only real problem with that release was the lack of binaries for windows and mac. I would like to fix that in the next release which I am hoping to get out in the next month or two. That leaves the question of how these binaries are generated. I've spoken to Ralph Giles (Xiph) and he'd like make sure we know the exact provinance of all binaries hosted on the Xiph web site. Its not that we don't trust anyone, its just that we want to know exactly what went into it. My current thoughts are that the win32 and win64 binaries can be cross compiled from Linux and packaged as setup.exe style installer. Ralph also has a Mac and we could create a dpg or whatever is most common there. We would also like whatever build scripts used to build these FLAC binaries in the actual FLAC git repo. Does this sound like a plan? Cheers, Erik -- -- Erik de Castro Lopo http://www.mega-nerd.com/ ___ flac-dev mailing list flac-dev@xiph.org http://lists.xiph.org/mailman/listinfo/flac-dev
