Message405568
Currently we don't test builds done outside the source tree, neither on GitHub nor the buildbots. [1] As a result, such builds get broken occasionally. I've certainly broken then a couple times, inadvertently. It would be helpful if we tested out-of-tree builds on GitHub, or at least on a stable buildbot.
FTR, to do an out-of-tree build locally and test it:
mkdir ../build
cd ../build
../cpython/configure
make
./python -m test
[1] Actually I recently added test.test_tools.test_freeze.TestFreeze.test_freeze_simple_script which happens to do an out-of-tree build incidentally. However, we should be testing out-of-tree builds explicitly. |
