Should crosstesting work?

[Ferenc Wagner]

Hello,

I'm trying to cross-compile some conformance tests.  The
Winelib tests work, Wine runs the cross-compiled tests, I
can produce Win32 apps with MinGW, but I can't run the
cross-compiled tests under Win95.  Simply running them in a
DOS window produces the list of possible tests as expected,
but running a real test fails with an Illegal Operation
window.  What am I missing here?
                                        Thanks: Feri.

AFAIK This is supposed to work. I have not tried it myself so I can't 
help much. Which test(s) did you try to run? Do they all produce the 
same error?

Not exactly the same, but very similar ones.  Mostly like
this (from gdi32_crosstest generated, translated by me):

GDI32_CROSSTEST caused page fault
in module GDI32_CROSSTEST.EXE at address 014f:00455a49.

For user32 tests I get the same (an other address with
nearly the same byte sequence is constant for every test)
with the exception of the class test, which faults at a
different address.  Btw, this is the module I put a new test
in.  That faults like the majority does. :(

I will try to build these with MSVC 6, but I seldom has
access to a computer with that software, and the process
isn't much fun altogether (according to the Developers'
Manual, which is great, thanks, Francois!)

Well, I did so, and it works.  What next?

Dear Crosstest Users,

please speak up!  I'm very interested in hearing about
anybody being able to 'make crosstest' and run the tests on
native Windows.  That would be a great help debugging the
problem.
                                        Thanks: Feri.

They work fine here under NT4.

That's a platform I can't test on, unfortunately...

I'm using the prebuilt Debian Woody version (2.95.3.7-3,
runtime 1.2-1), and the symptoms are: compilation and
linking go without a warning, Wine runs the resulting .exe
files (with all the tests), but Win95 crashes when I select
any test, although running the .exe without command line
arguments lists the available tests as expected.  (More
details were provided in previous articles of this thread.)

I don't know about Windows debugging, but crosscompiling the
unit tests would be a major win.  Please tell me your ideas!
What could I try now?

More testing revealed that I can run the tests on Windows
2000 Professional (built on NT technology) and XP (also
NT-based, AFAIK).  Still no luck with Windows 95, 98 and Me.
Maybe NT is the key...

Can anybody run the crosstests on a non-NT Windows platform?
Or is Debian's MinGW for NT only?

I've seen this problem too with the precompiled mingw packages (links to
them are on the mingw homepage).
With self build mingw i couldn't get mingw to link the binaries. The
patch in this thread
http://www.winehq.com/hypermail/wine-devel/2003/02/0123.html
fixed it for me.
