| 161 | +Local Windows Testing Procedure | ||
| 162 | +=============================== | ||
| 163 | + | ||
| 164 | +This is what I do for routine testing on Windows. | ||
| 165 | + | ||
| 166 | +From Linux, run ./autogen.sh and make autofiles.zip | ||
| 167 | + | ||
| 168 | +From Windows in git bash, git clone from my Linux clone, unzip | ||
| 169 | +external-libs, and unzip autofiles.zip. | ||
| 170 | + | ||
| 171 | +Look at make_windows_releases. Set up path the same way and run | ||
| 172 | +whichever ./config-* is appropriate for whichever compiler I need to | ||
| 173 | +test with. Run from msys started from one of the visual studio command | ||
| 174 | +line shells. The build doesn't work from git bash on my local system. |
