Re: [Monotone-devel] Failure To Complete Tests With Monotone Version 0.34 And 0.35

[Anthony Edward Cooper]

   Hi all,

   I have tried to compile Monotone 0.35 for Solaris 9.0. I must be 
going mad! I distinctly remember it successfully compiling the test 
harness, running it and then getting a few tests that failed. However 
when I did a clean build yesterday the test harness failed to build due 
to unset_env not being ported to Solaris. I provided an implementation 
in tester.cc (borrowed straight out of glibc) and this time it compiled. 
However when ever the tester program is run with a test script it core 
dumps (no symbol table info I am afraid). make check passes with flying 
colours on the first two tests but when it gets to run_lua_tests it just 
dies:-(

   Unfortunately this is beginning to take up too much time... I only 
want a certified (known to work) binary that will run on Solaris 9.0. 
However the only binaries I could find were version 0.2x and we would 
like at least 0.34 or ideally 0.35. Has anyone else managed to get it to 
compile for Solaris 9.0? Is there a way of running the lua tests from a 
Linux box but using the solaris binary over the network?

   In order to get some debug info out of tester, where do I turn on -g 
in the make file?

   Many thanks in advance.

   Tony.
