Hi Mark,
Here is my toplevel "run" script which I run from cygwin, from the parent of the git clone'd asdf/ directory.
I commented all the ASDF_TEST_LISPS for windows so as to leave only abcl.
You should just have to edit the line
export ABCL=...
to match the location of your abcl executable (yes, if you're running through cygwin, then you can use the bare "abcl" executable, which itself is a shell script and will be handled properly, as long as "java" is in the execution path of the cygwin bash shell).
When you run this "run" script, it will create
asdf-windows/
directory to do the actual testing. If you run on MacOS and/or Linux it will make similarly named subdirectories; this allows hypothetically running the tests in parallel on several virtual machines from the same shared parent directory.
Regards and Happy Holidays,
Dave

I’ll take a look at the ABCL problem in the next day, reporting back to
the list if I have a fix
Unfortunately, I have come to the end of a long day for me without much to report as I have spent most of my non-work time mucking with getting a virtualized version of Windows running/patched/configured in which to test the ABCL ASDF failures.
It isn’t quite clear how to run the tests under Windows. I am using Cygwin, so I thought I could just ensure that ‘abcl’ is in my path and symlinked to ‘abcl.bat
cygwin-bash$ sh run-tests.sh abclbut I get an “access is denied” message, which is odd as I can invoke `abcl` directly. Probably some faulty understanding on my part of cygwin v. DOS scripting.
So, if someone can please provide a quick sketch of how to run the ASDF tests under Windows, I can try pick this up tomorrow.
And if abcl is the only thing holding up a release, y’all might as well pull the trigger without the Bear, as the social aspect of holidays with family will place additional stress on my spare time.
