Building winetest-latest.exe?
Hi folks, how does one build the native version of winetest.exe? I looked around a bit, and didn't see any obvious instructions. http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2011-July/091144.html touches on it, but doesn't say much. I ask because I'm interested in tracking down why testbot doesn't think vcomp.dll is installed. ( cf. http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2012-August/096642.html ) - Dan
As I understand it, you need to set up a mingw build as in http://wiki.winehq.org/CompilingDLLsUsingMingw

Sort of. You don't need a separate build tree for building the tests. Just have mingw32 installed, run ./configure, then 'make crosstest'. -- -Austin

I've done 'make crosstest' many times, but building winetest.exe itself does seem to require the two trees as described by that page. (But as it turns out, the code I needed to fix was in buildbot, not winetest.) - Dan

For that one can also look at testbot/bin/buil/Reconfig.pl, specifically BuildNative() and BuildCross() (in the tools repository).

Maybe the WineTestBot code needs a similar fix? In testbot/src/TestLauncher/TestLauncher.c? -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)codeweavers.com>

Yeah, um, ^buildbot^testbot I have a patch at http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31609 for your review.

Sorry about that. I forgot about you other email when replying to this one. From the bug report (so others may comment): You're calling the functions directly instead of using the function pointers. Also it might be worth splitting the patch in two parts: one to introduce the 'goto done' which I feel is worth it on its own and the other for the activation context stuff. But then others might say this is overkill. Otherwise I can't test the patch right now but it looks good. -- Francois Gouget <fgouget(a)codeweavers.com>,

The above page says to use mingw32 but this version of MinGW is pretty old (4.2) and, as far as I can tell, can only build 32bit Windows binaries. So I don't think that's what winetest / WineTestBot use. I think nowadays the packages to use is gcc-mingw-w64 & co (currently 4.6).
