Running the tests in the console is different from running them in the GUI, I think we should run both. If a test stalls then we may have to skip it. We already skip several tests for MS-Windows, either they are omitted in the Makefile or the test bails out early. I'm surprised the console tests are slower, the GUI has to open a new window, create menus, etc. Perhaps it's because console I/O is being slow. > > Perhaps the build can be made faster by not using -O3. -O2 should be > > sufficient to get useful warnings.

I do think we also want MingW-console and MSVC-GUI. -- "Intelligence has much less practical application than you'd think." -- Scott Adams, Dilbert. /// Bram Moolenaar -- [email protected] -- http://www.Moolenaar.net \\\ /// sponsor Vim, vote for features -- http://www.Vim.org/sponsor/ \\\ \\\ an exciting new programming language -- http://www.Zimbu.org /// \\\ help me help AIDS victims -- http://ICCF-Holland.org /// -- -- You received this message from the "vim_dev" maillist.
