digitalmars.D - How do I run DMD unittests on win32?

I'm starting to contribute to DMD by fixing some bugs, but I need to

makefile in the test dir but what I don't know is if I need to set up
my directory structure in any special way?

Is it simpler to just make the pull request and wait for the
autotester to finish, or should I try to do this locally first?
Thanks.

I think you at least need to have the DMD, Phobos and druntime 
repositories in the same folder.

You run the makefile.  It calls d_do_test.  If your dmd, druntime and phobos 
repositories are not where it expects you will need to modify the paths in 
the makefile, or change your directory layout to match that the autotester 
does.

It's GNU makefile.

You need:

1. MinGW
2. unzip.exe (I use this one: 
http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/unzip.htm) - it must be in the 
PATH env. var.

Next:

3. copy your modified dmd.exe to x:\dmd\windows\bin (this is the most 
straightforward way)
4. run MinGW and cd to /x/dmd/src/dmd/test
5. make DMD=/x/dmd/windows/bin/dmd

where x is your drive letter.

By default make runs all tests, but you can select smaller area with 
these targets:

run_runnable_tests
run_compilable_tests
run_fail_compilation_tests

for example: make run_compilable_tests DMD=/x/dmd/windows/bin/dmd

After all, use make clean to delete test results.

P.S. I couldn't manage to run the tests without copying the dmd. Without 
a copy I constantly encountered missing object.d file errors, even if I 
set correct paths to druntime/import.

What do you mean run MinGW and cd? It's a compiler not a shell..

I have a feeling you're talking about using msys, GNU's make won't run
this makefile from the command-line, neither would mingw32-make
(errors with: ! was unexpected at this time).

Honestly tests shouldn't need any special shells on win32. If the
makefile uses d_do_test.d to run the tests then the makefile itself
can be a D script.

Yes, I meant MinGW shell (MSYS). It appears as "MinGW Shell" in my start 
menu.

I wrote "GNU makefile" because of that: 
http://web.archiveorange.com/archive/v/GZgCCznbXZWfIrdzVIfB

Anyway my "MinGW Shell" is able to run that makefile and all the tests.


 Honestly tests shouldn't need any special shells on win32. If the
 makefile uses d_do_test.d to run the tests then the makefile itself
 can be a D script.


Agreed. Few days ago I was trying to figure this out too, and found the 
way described in my prev post. This should be posted somewhere in the 
wiki, as I figured this out only after reading the above link, after 
googling for a quite long time...

Yeah I'm seeing this too. Ah well.. I guess I'll just have to live
with msys, the d build script won't run properly without it. It's all
one big hardcoded mess..
