#10449: Out-of-tree tests broken on MinGW + native Python due to quoting of config.compiler -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Reporter: Rufflewind | Owner: Type: bug | Status: patch Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.12.1 Component: Test Suite | Version: 7.10.1 Resolution: | Keywords: Operating System: Windows | Architecture: Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: Other | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: #10441 | Differential Revisions: Phab:D911 -------------------------------+------------------------------------------- Comment (by Thomas Miedema ): In [changeset:"ce166a3aaab28a9b08c60da6d0cfdab998b6e8ca/ghc"]: {{{ #!CommitTicketReference repository="ghc" revision="ce166a3aaab28a9b08c60da6d0cfdab998b6e8ca" Testdriver: do not interfer with MinGW path magic (#10449) This should fix the testsuite driver on Windows using the MinGW tools with a native build of Python. MinGW automagically converts MinGW-style paths (e.g. '/c/programs/ghc/bin/ghc') into ordinary Windows paths (e.g. 'C:/programs/ghc/bin/ghc') when a native Windows program is invoked. But it doesn't do so when those paths are wrapped with a pair of escaped double quotes. The fix is to not call `eval` on the paths in Python, which let's us use one less pair of quotes, and makes MinGW happy.
