With help from Peter, I now able to run the test suite using grade IL, but ran into a slight problem which I am noting here for others. As Peter noted in <a href="http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/research/mercury/mailing-lists/mercury-developers/mercury-developers.200706/0016.html">http://www.cs.mu.oz.au/research/mercury/mailing-lists/mercury-developers/mercury-developers.200706/0016.html</a>, mounting the test directory with the text option fixed the Windows Unix line ending problem. While the mount command looked simple to use, the trick to getting it to work was in the exact construction of the directory names Here are the steps I used to run the test suite. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- start bash shell Eric@xp-machine ~ $ mount C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount) e: on /cygdrive/e type system (binmode,noumount) Eric@xp-machine ~ $ mount --text --system D:\\Mercury/mercury-tests-0.13.1 /tests Eric@xp-machine ~ $ mount D:\Mercury\mercury-tests-0.13.1 on /tests type system (textmode) C:\cygwin\bin on /usr/bin type system (binmode) C:\cygwin\lib on /usr/lib type system (binmode) C:\cygwin on / type system (binmode) c: on /cygdrive/c type system (binmode,noumount) d: on /cygdrive/d type system (binmode,noumount) e: on /cygdrive/e type system (binmode,noumount) Eric@xp-machine ~ $ cd /tests Eric@xp-machine /tests $ mmake GRADE=IL runtests ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The mount command makes changes to the mount table which is located in the Windows registry under the key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2 Once I looked at the registry keys, the command was easier to use. The following is the cygwin mount table in a *.reg file format. Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2] "cygdrive prefix"="/cygdrive" "cygdrive flags"=dword:00000022 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/] "native"="C:\\cygwin" "flags"=dword:0000000a [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/tests] "native"="D:\\Mercury\\mercury-tests-0.13.1" "flags"=dword:00000008 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/bin] "native"="C:\\cygwin/bin" "flags"=dword:0000000a [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Cygnus Solutions\Cygwin\mounts v2\/usr/lib] "native"="C:\\cygwin/lib" "flags"=dword:0000000a </div> </body> </html>
