[postgis-devel] 1.1.0 closed - Release on 21 - call for tests

[Mark Cave-Ayland]

Hi everyone,

OK having looked into this, it appears that MingW has some sort of buffering
problem when the output from psql is piped into other programs. I seem to
get random failures within the tests as it seems that sometimes the stdout
and sterr become 'out of sync' causing the tests to only complete partially.

I've managed to get the regression tests going under MingW with the attached
patch - by directly piping the output from psql into a file without feeding
into grep/sed, the problem seems to go away. I've also added a "grep -v
'^$'" which stops the Windows CR/LF pair causing two newlines to appear at
the end of each line which again prevents the tests from succeeding. This
patch now gives me the following results from MingW:


$ make test
make -C lwgeom 
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/mca/postgis/postgis-cvs/lwgeom'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/mca/postgis/postgis-cvs/lwgeom'
make -C regress test
