[Sil-Developer] SIL testing commited to SVN

[Leandro C. <lc...@st...>]

Hi all,
 
I've commited a new release for branch testing in the Subversion repository.
 
Keep in mind that this is a branch, not the trunk, so changes made here only
will appear at trunk after a merge. So, all the work here is to keep the
trunk from being corrupted, cos its holds the stable branch.

I have also to note that currently this branch only compiles, but, as today,
it yet not pass a simple runtime test. However, work is in progress to fix
that as soon as possible.
 

Here the stepts to try to compile it:
 
- You need to have some subversion client installed: download at
http://subversion.tigris.org, for windows the best is TortoiseSVN here:
http://tortoisesvn.tigris.org
- You will need the newest version of freepascal that you can find. I've
compiled with the 2.0.2 version downloaded from http://www.freepascal.org
 
- Checkout the repository to some writable place, like that:
 
svn checkout
"https://svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/sil/branches/branch=freepascal&target=w
in32/sil" testing
 
this will generate a new directory "testing" with the content from branch
testing (currently at revision 578) in it.

Next, you can try to compile some simple test program (see the
programs/tests/fpc directory):

NOTE: It is very likely that currently the tests will not work ... this is
work in progress.


For example, try this:

$ fpc -Sd -vi programs/tests/fpc/Test1.pas

This surely will generarte some errors on linux (I didn't try to compile in
linux yet) but in windows it must compile ok.



Thanks for the interest, 

See you soon!
Leus.
