I'm close to giving up on the automake tests. Last night I had 3 failures in 1.12.3 - but only once I ran the tests as a user. I had that t/python-missing.sh and assumed it was because Python is installed (it's my bootable system, back in chroot). My other two were t/lex-clean-cxx and t/lex-depend-cxx : both undefined reference to `yylex'. I suppose those lex tests are SKIP for you, because LFS has not installed flex when automake is built. Retried 1.12.2 as a user, with a more minimal chown - blew out trying to write ./test-suite.log.tmp : at least one failure, but it had scrolled out of my term's buffer. Seemed to work the next time, with just the two lex-*cxx failures - then I realised I had run it as root. Gave it a separate run overnight, as root - again only the two lex failures. I differ from the book by avoiding static libs as much as possible. I've just finished *another* run of 1.12.2, with libl.a and libfl.a available for use - 83 failures - most are in t/instspc.tap [ 11,12,14,16-62, 65-70, 72-84, 87-94 ] t/instdid.sh, t/instdir2.sh, t/insthook.sh,t/instmany.sh, and _still_ the two lex-*-cxx tests fail. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
