"make check" fails in "tests/rwfile_sized.tap 9 - C" on Cygwin Msys264

Added testSuite.log

I am not sure what "Cygwin Msys264" is. This past weekend I tested GraphicsMagick builds under latest Cygwin, and MSYS2. No particular issues were observed.

I do see this in the provided make_check.txt:

PASS: tests/rwfile_sized.tap 6 - R (red) truecolor_70x46
PASS: tests/rwfile_sized.tap 7 - G (green) truecolor_70x46
PASS: tests/rwfile_sized.tap 8 - B (blue) truecolor_70x46
FAIL: tests/rwfile_sized.tap 9 - C (cyan) truecolor_70x46
PASS: tests/rwfile_sized.tap 10 - M (magenta) truecolor_70x46
PASS: tests/rwfile_sized.tap 11 - Y (yellow) truecolor_70x46
PASS: tests/rwfile_sized.tap 12 - K (black) truecolor_70x46

I will study this further with the hope of finding the cause (although I have not reproduced it yet).

Msys 2-64 means MSYS2 - MinGW64.

BTW Msys2-MinGW32 performs much more worse:

I had complete success with building GraphcisMagick under MSYS2.

First I followed the update instructions at https://www.msys2.org/docs/updating/. Then I installed the additional packages that GraphicsMagick can use. I even found a package for libjxl!

A sample configure command I used is

./configure 'CFLAGS=-O2 -march=native -g -Wall -Wextra' 'CXXFLAGS=-O2 -march=native -g -Wall -Wextra' '--disable-static' '--enable-shared' '--with-modules' '--with-quantum-depth=16' '--disable-installed' 'VERBOSE=TRUE' 'PKG_CONFIG=/mingw64/bin/pkg-config' 'PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/mingw64/lib/pkgconfig:/mingw64/share/pkgconfig'

and the test results due to building based on the above are:

I am very impressed with how far MSYS2 has come and am happy that it offers so many packages ready to use.

I did see some annoying warnings coming out due to GCC 14 and its extra checking. I will try to get those warnings cleaned up.

Jaroslav has always been keenly interested in supporting older Windows versions that Microsoft abandoned.

As far as MinGW type environments goes, GraphicsMagick does not particularly "support" any of them other than trying to assure that the software compiles correctly, and tests successfully, on as many of the still supported variants as possible.

I have also testing with original MinGW which is as much up to date as the abandoned SourceForge version allows (it identifies as being from 2016! 1.0.16). I see one type of test failure which is due to the MSYS shell screwing up the formatting of an absolute path specification. I will see if I can fix that.

I tested using latest Cygwin and latest MSYS2 (as documented in prior comments) and all of the tests passed for me.

It is appreciated if other interested parties test and share their experiences.
