OK, I looked. It has a big configure script. I tried running it under msys on wine, but that failed miserably. So I guess it's not easy, offhand (big surprise). I suppose there might be other ways to run parts of the mauve test suite on wine, but I'll pass for now.
I remember now a post from almost five years ago, proposing using Abiword as the app to test: http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-users/2001/08/0086.html Wine wasn't ready for that back then, but it is now; abiword-2.0.8 works fine under current wine (newer versions run into http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4887 ). I'll go check to see if they've got an automated regression test of their own yet... - Dan -- Wine for Windows ISVs: http://kegel.com/wine/isv
