#9604: Python test runner assumes native Python on Windows -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: gintas | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.8.2 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: Building Difficulty: Unknown | GHC failed Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- runtests.py assumes that ctypes.windll is always available when running on Windows, but that is in fact only available when using a native Windows Python, but not the mingw/msys Python. The code causes a crash over a trivial issue of setting the terminal to UTF-8 mode. See attached patch for a fix. (The second patch is a cleanup.) -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9604 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
