Building and running the tests on Windows

Using pre-compiled binaries

Unfortunately there are no pre-compiled binaries yet. However if send an email to the Wine development list you can probably get someone to send them to you, and maybe motivate some kind soul to put in place a mechanism for publishing such binaries on a regular basis.

With Visual C++

	Visual Studio 6 users:
	- MSVC headers may not work well, try with Wine headers
	- Ensure that you have the "processor pack" from
	  http://msdn.microsoft.com/vstudio/downloads/tools/ppack/default.aspx
	  as well as the latest service packs.  The processor pack fixes "error C2520: conversion from unsigned
	   __int64 to double not implemented, use signed __int64"
	

With MinGW

Wine's build system already has support for building tests with a MinGW cross-compiler. See the section above called 'Setup of the MinGW cross-compiling environment' for instructions on how to set things up. When you have a MinGW environment installed all you need to do is rerun configure and it should detect the MinGW compiler and tools. Then run 'make crosstest' to start building the tests.
