bug building regression tests under Mingw32

[Steven Edwards]

Hola,
It seems there is a dependancy bug or something in the makefile for the 
regression test. I can build all of the regression tests fine under 
mingw but I have to build one at a time because the tests Makefiles are 
still trying to build the dll even if I just want to build the tests 
only. See below for examples.

when I try to run
$ make test
in the root of my wine source tree the tests will start to build and 
then it will bomb after advapi32_test.exe with the following error.
<truncated - snip>
gcc -c -I. -I. -I../../../include -I../../../include  -D__MINGW__ 
-D_WINDOWS -DW
INE_NOWINSOCK -Wall -mpreferred-stack-boundary=2  -DNONAMELESSUNION 
-DNONAMELESS
STRUCT  -D_REENTRANT -o testlist.o testlist.c
gcc registry.o testlist.o  -o advapi32_test.exe  -ladvapi32 -lkernel32 
-lntdll -

make[3]: *** No rule to make target `../../../dlls/advapi32.dll', needed 
by `reg
istry.ok'.  Stop.

make[1]: *** [advapi32/__test__] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/g/src/wine-dev/wine/dlls'
make: *** [dlls/__test__] Error 2

or if I traverse the tree to wine/dlls/kernel/tests and run
$ make test
<truncated - snip>
gcc alloc.o atom.o codepage.o directory.o drive.o environ.o file.o 
format_msg.o

kernel32_test.exe
 -lkernel32 -L../../../library -lwine  -lm
make: *** No rule to make target `../../../dlls/kernel32.dll', needed by 
`alloc.
ok'.  Stop.

OK I admit I havent read all of the docs for the regression test suite 
and mabey this is supposed to happen. but it just seems to make I should 
be able to type
$ ./configure --foo and bar
$ make depend
$ make test

and go on my merry way.

Thanks
Steven

That's a feature, it ensures that the tests get run again if the dll
being tested has changed. If you can't build these dlls under mingw,
you can simply create empty files instead.
