#9626: Test command lines munged on Windows when running on msys Python -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: gintas | Owner: Type: bug | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Component: Build System | Version: 7.9 Keywords: | Operating System: Windows Architecture: Unknown/Multiple | Type of failure: Building Difficulty: Unknown | GHC failed Blocked By: | Test Case: Related Tickets: | Blocking: | Differential Revisions: -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- On Windows, the test runner works fine if run under Windows-native Python, but fails with the msys Python because of the heuristic transformations that msys applies to all binary invocations of non-msys binaries (such as timeout.exe) by msys binaries (such as python). This is relatively easy to sidestep by going through /usr/bin/cmd in msys which sidesteps the argument munging. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/9626 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
