Hi guys.

Sorry for the (very) late response. Since I got promoted to admin on the Danish Wikipedia back in March I've hardly been here at all.
I rarely use the PC containing the files relating to the guides to anything anymore.

I am aware that my site is very outdated and until now I've simply haven't got the time (or, to be honest, the inclination) to be editing anything.
I'll be going on a two week vacation starting Friday but hopefully I'll update stuff before then.

OH

BTW, someone once said something about running "make check" or something like that. Can anyone here explain that function so that I may include it in the guide if necessary?

OH

I've updated the page now. Please tell me if the problem has been fixed
:)

Hi Omboo!
That was me :)
I've only successfully used it (make check) under Linux - but I imagine it might work also under MSYS/MingW (?)
Basically, after doing the 'make' step to actually create the ecm.exe file, one can also type 'make check' and it should run the newly created ecm file on a variety of test data, and show if all the specified tests 'passed' - giving one (hopefully!) some degree of confidence that ecm will actually work right.
Regards,
James

It does. You have to call it when in MinGW, though, as "make" doesn't work under (plain) Windows...

Please be aware that for some reason I can't update the guides at [url]http://mersenneforum.org/showthread.php?t=4726[/url] . The topic is locked.
For updated versions go to [url]http://www.geocities.com/omboohankvald/[/url]

I'm working on moving them to my domain and out of the Geocities.
