I just merged some work to GIL's `develop` branch. This notably involves improvements to the testing infrastructure. Testing GIL is a bit involved, as it requires various backend libraries (PNG, JPEG, TIFF, etc.) to be installed. While the stand-alone testing works fine (https://github.com/boostorg/gil/blob/develop/.travis.yml#L304-L306), the integrated testing will thus fail, until the testing logic is augmented by the necessary instructions to a) install the prerequisites and b) invoke the build system with the appropriate flags (https://github.com/boostorg/gil/blob/develop/io/test/Jamfile#L13-L22)
Please use the Boost.Build modules for these libraries instead. You can make the tests run only when the corresponding libraries are available, like this:
using zlib ;
run png_test.cpp : # args : # input-files : # requirements [ ac.check-library /zlib//zlib : <library>/zlib//zlib : <build>no ] # in English, if the library is found, use it, otherwise, # skip this test ;
Although ideally it should be: import zlib ; run ... ; And then ask the testers to add the appropriate "using zlib ... ;" to their configuration. And that should also include any CI testing you do also. -- -- Rene Rivera -- Grafik - Don't Assume Anything -- Robot Dreams - http://robot-dreams.net
