operations/external/path OR tests/simple/path: illegal naming
With the upcoming MS Store version of GIMP, .pdb (CodeView) debug symbols will be generated and all zipped in a .appxsym file. I plan to do the same with GEGL in !162 (merged) but...
Two binaries have the same name:
- operations/external/path (library)
- tests/simple/path (executable)
This is a problem since:
Debug information for foo.exe [for example] is written to a file called foo.pdb. The debug information for a shared library foo.dll is also written to a file called foo.pdb. That means you can't have a dll and an exe with the same name in the same directory.
As a result, one of the "path" named binaries will have its .pdb sacrificed and willn't be able to be debuggable (if both binaries are distributed). Could you rename one of them (e.g. the test)?
