Re: Success (mostly) with the testsuite

[Daniele Arena]

Hi All,

Since there was no tarball;) I thought I would checkout the CVS just to
have some fun. I started to test here and there, and got some positive
tests (make checks) with a SPARC(-clone) running Solaris 7. Just a tiny
weird thing, it ignored every test in update.m4:

125. ./update.m4:10     ignored near `update.m4:10'
126. ./update.m4:11     ignored near `update.m4:11'
[...]
157. ./update.m4:42     ignored near `update.m4:42'

I hope it's normal, you'll know better.

Another thing, I also wanted to test the package on a BSDI3.1 box, but it
doesn't even configure:

% ./configure 
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking whether make sets ${MAKE}... yes
checking for working aclocal... found
checking for working autoconf... found
checking for working automake... found
checking for working autoheader... found
checking for working makeinfo... found
checking for gm4... no
checking for gnum4... no
checking for m4... /usr/local/bin/m4
checking whether m4 supports frozen files... yes
checking for mawk... no
checking for gawk... gawk
checking for working help2man... missing
checking for perl... /usr/local/bin/perl
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
creating ./config.status
./config.status: 7: Syntax error: end of file unexpected (expecting "}")


I didn't poke through config.status for errors; I tried replacing /bin/sh
in config.status with /bin/bash and config.status ran. If you want I can
send you the config.status produced.

Cheers,

Daniele.

P.S.: More tests will follow, depending on my time.
