Steps needed to test nqp-rx against Parrot
1. Build and install parrot
2. Check out a clean copy of nqp-rx from http://github.com/perl6/nqp-rx.git
(or use 'make realclean' in an existing checkout)
3. In the nqp-rx directory,
perl Configure.pl --parrot-config=$PARROT_INSTALL/bin/parrot_config
make test
There should be no failures; as of 2011-01-06, nqp-rx's policy will
be that there are no "known failures" in the nqp-rx's test suite.
If a test is known to fail, it's either fixed or commented out
so that "make test" always shows no failures (it may show passing
TODO's, however).
The total time needed to perform steps 2 and 3 on my system is less
than 90 seconds. Unlike Rakudo, nqp-rx does not require a large
memory footprint to build and/or run.
