Hello Sebastien and team

I’m posting to let you know that Orthanc can now be installed using GNU Guix (#476 - gnu: Add orthanc. - guix/guix - Codeberg.org). There’s also a PR to add the alternative database plugins (#480 - Add database plugins for Orthanc. - guix/guix - Codeberg.org).

I want to share a couple of minor issues that I found with the build system, in case it is useful to you.

  1. With Orthanc version 1.12.7, when passing the CMake flag “-DENABLE_GOOGLE_TEST=OFF”, googletest is still required and ‘UnitTests’ is still built.
  2. For the PostgreSQL plugin version 7.2, the UnitTests program takes the username as a command line argument, but the tests seem to fail with any username other than ‘postgres’. Is this expected?

Thank you for Orthanc.

All the best
Jake
