Thread: FYI, Windows buildfarm member passes all PL regression tests

FYI, Windows buildfarm member passes all PL regression tests

From

Today I got done an item that's been on my TODO list for some time - I
got my Windows buildfarm member building with all 3 optional PLs and
passing all their regression tests. In each case (perl, python, tcl) I
used the ActiveState versions, rather than building my own. This is the
first time we have done this on a Windows buildfarm member.

cheers

Don't run with ActiveState Python. Run with the official win32 python
from the python guys themselves. There were some issues with
ActiveState, but I can't remember what they were. Could be that they are
fixed now, but I still think relying on the official distribution is
better when available (the python guys put out a win32 binary
distribution, unlike for example perl (last time I checked)).

That said, this is good news indeed :-)

OK, I switched to the Python project's Windows distribution (which is
more modern anyway) and it's still working. See:
http://www.pgbuildfarm.org/cgi-bin/show_log.pl?nm=loris&dt=2005-07-08%2011:19:10

One reason for using the AS version of perl, is the nice PPMs of DBD::Pg
that some kind person is now delivering.
