Re: mingw compilation of base broken

[Riccardo Mottola]

Hi,

good, I have 3.4.5 on mingw.

With your fix, everything compiles. However running base checks has a 
lot of failed tests:

base/NSCalendarDate/test00.m:
Failed test:     test00.m:107 ... +dateWithString:calendarFormat:locale: 
handles
 Africa/Addis_Ababa
Failed test:     test00.m:246 ... date check with 2002-03-31 01:30:00
Failed test:     test00.m:261 ... date check with 2002-03-31 01:30:00
Failed test:     test00.m:265 ... date check with 2002-03-31 00:30:00
Failed test:     test00.m:410 ... date year calculation preserves timezone

Failed test:     test00.m:117 ... NSDecimalNumber longValue works
Failed test:     test00.m:119 ... NSDecimalNumber longLongValue works

Failed test:     test00.m:125 ... NSDecimalNumber unsignedIntValue works
Failed test:     test00.m:127 ... NSDecimalNumber unsignedIntegerValue works
Failed test:     test00.m:129 ... NSDecimalNumber unsignedLongValue works
Failed test:     test00.m:133 ... NSDecimalNumber unsignedShortValue works


and then the last one:

base/NSObject/initialize.m:
Failed build:
--- Running tests in base/NSOperation ---

Here test runs just hang, with 0% cpu usage

I interrupted tests. I will compile gui and back and see how "usage" fares.
