MSYS2 apitest.exe FAIL

[Eric Lindblad]

MS XP SP3 (32 bit)

https://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MINGW/i686/
mingw-w64-i686-xapian-core-1.4.1-1-any.pkg.tar.xz

does not contain /mingw32/lib/libxapian.la.

cf: http://nurmi-labs.blogspot.com/2016/11/git.html (for setup)

https://sourceforge.net/projects/msys2/files/REPOS/MINGW/i686/
mingw-w64-i686-libtool-2.4.6-7-any.pkg.tar.xz (added)

mingw-w64-xapian-core-1.4.1-1.src.tar.xz

This download contains the package maintainer's configure script arguments.

But I ran the configure script without any arguments.

$ export PATH=/mingw32/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:\
> /c/WINDOWS/system32:/c/WINDOWS:/c/WINDOWS/System32/Wbem:\
> /usr/bin/vendor_perl:/usr/bin/core_perl

$ ./configure

However, running 'make check' resulted in the following.

make[4]: Entering directory '/c/WORK/xapian-core-1.4.1/tests'

I'll probably delete the content of (http://nurmi-labs.blogspot.com/2016/11/git.html) regarding xapian in a couple of weeks.
