Regression tests refuse to run under MinGW
Last modified: 2009-06-26 06:29:53 UTC
The regression tests (as a whole) refuse to run under MinGW + MSYS 1.0: The system cannot find the path specified. bzip2: (stdin) is not a bzip2 file. tar: Child returned status 2 tar: Error exit delayed from previous errors Entering directory `C:\msys\1.0\home\owner\repos\ns-3-dev\build' Compilation finished successfully ========== Running Regression Tests ========== Retrieving ns-3-dev-ref-traces.tar.bz2 from web. Done. Reference traces directory does not exist
I vote to make that not a P1 because mingw is not a platform we support. wouldbenicetofix though.
PATH=$PATH:/c/Python25 should work
> PATH=$PATH:/c/Python25 I had the paths set up already. The problem revolves around the return code from hg version which wscript uses to see if Mercurial is available. There is no ns-3-dev-ref-traces.tar.bz2 in the releases directory since ns-3-dev is expected to use hg, so the contents of the tar file is the text of a 404 error. I can fake the system out by manually cloning the reference traces repo, but then the realtime-udp-echo regression test asserts, and other regression tests report errors. I am very tired of MinGW.
I believe that this bug is fixed thanks to gustavo
