Well, I was thinking of something more sophisticated than checking the path. We already have two builds of pbc2exe -- the one that is built when Parrot is built, and the one that gets built and installed as part of a Parrot install. That second one should be built already having the knowledge that "I'm the Parrot install version of pbc2exe", and thus it should always use the Parrot install config.o (without having to check paths or options). > >> I assume 2009-03 is targetting a newer parrot than 1.0.0, > >> which is unfortunate for a quasi perl6-1.0 release. > > > > The 2009-03 release targets parrot 1.0.0. =A0What you're probably > > seeing is that the spectests (which are outside of the release > > tarball) have changed since the release. =A0So, I guess we may want > > to (a) include a copy of the current spectests at the time of the > > release in the tarball (and change the 'make spectest' target > > to use those) or (b) change the Makefile in the release so that it > > always checks out the spectests that were in effect at the time > > of the release. >=20 > Ok, I will check out the right git tag around that date and > include the full tests in the release. Its likely a bit more than just that, because "make spectest" will also attempt to update whatever it finds in t/spec to the latest version from pugscode.org .
