I have just completed builds of gzip-1.3.11 in bare (./configure && make ...)
and customized (set CC, LDFLAGS, etc for ./configure) environments:
45 in all, of which 41 succeeded and reported all tests passed.
The failures are on NetBSD 1.6 on IA-32, and Sun Solaris 7 SPARC (a
rather old O/S and hardware due to be retired in the next few months).
On NetBSD, the builds end like this:
gzip <gzip.doc >gzip.doc.gz
{ test '.' != . || GZIP_BINDIR=. ./zdiff -c gzip.doc.gz; }
GZIP_BINDIR=. ./zdiff -c ./gzip.doc ./gzip.doc
GZIP_BINDIR=. ./zdiff ./gzip.doc gzip.doc.gz
GZIP_BINDIR=. ./zdiff -c - ./gzip.doc <gzip.doc.gz
GZIP_BINDIR=. ./zdiff -c gzip.doc.gz gzip.doc.gz
./zdiff[157]: gzip -cdfq -- gzip.doc.gz 4>&-; echo 0 >&4) 3>&- 5<&-
</dev/null |
eval ${DIFF-diff} '-c' -- /dev/fd/5 -)
5<&0
: unexpected `gzip'
make[2]: *** [check-local] Error 2
On Solaris, the failure is similar:
{ test '.' != . || GZIP_BINDIR=. ./zdiff -c gzip.doc.gz; }
GZIP_BINDIR=. ./zdiff -c ./gzip.doc ./gzip.doc
GZIP_BINDIR=. ./zdiff ./gzip.doc gzip.doc.gz
GZIP_BINDIR=. ./zdiff -c - ./gzip.doc <gzip.doc.gz
GZIP_BINDIR=. ./zdiff -c gzip.doc.gz gzip.doc.gz
make[2]: *** [make[2]: Leaving directory
`/export/nova/build-local/build/cc/gzip-1.3.11'
make[2]: [check-local] Error 2
Without delving into the test suite, I don't know what "error 2" means
in these failures.
A "find . -type f -newer gzip" command finds no further file evidence
of the failure.
What should I look for?
