Cygwin build results

[Mark Brown <mb...@inbox.com>]

Hi everyone,

I have been experimenting with stdcxx on Cygwin and Linux. I have come across the informative stdcxx build results page (http://people.apache.org/~sebor/stdcxx/results/) and found it quite useful in my experiments on Linux but in the short time that I have been monitoring the page I have not seen any results relevant to Cygwin. Are there are any plans to include Cygwin build results on this page?

Greetings Martin.

I don't think it would be too hard to configure an unused system for 
this purpose, but we'd need to work with the team that maintains the 
automated testing system to set it up.  Alternately, it might be 
possible to use the automated testing system to set up the Cygwin 
environment for only the Cygwin builds.  Both tactics should be considered.

What would it take to set up an otherwise unused old(er) PC
to run these builds? I.e., avoid the whole debate about our
test servers and set up one of our personal machines (I have
four in my office) for automated testing using Cygwin.

Greetings Mark.

Including Cygwin based results on windows would require setting up 
Cygwin on the automated build servers.  As these servers are also used 
for our other products, there is some amount of debate over whether 
Cygwin should be installed on these servers.  The main reason for this 
debate is because our other products shouldn't rely on Cygwin, and the 
presence might mask build failures.

That said, adding Cygwin builds of stdcxx to the automated testing 
schedule would likely be beneficial, and is something that will need to 
be considered once a couple higher priority projects are finished here.
