Error: a unit test failed, please do one of: export DEBUGCPPUNIT=TRUE # for exception catching export CPPUNITTRACE="gdb --args" # for interactive debugging on Linux export VALGRIND=memcheck # for memory checking and retry using: make CppunitTest_dbaccess_firebird_test So, I tried the first of those exports - no extra info available. I suppose it is _possible_ this comes from using system boost. Google found http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Failing-CppunitTest-dbaccess-firebird-test-td4157175.html which said the firebird access is experimental and (unless needed) can be disabled with --disable-firebird-sdbc : I tried that, and the build completed. Still searching after the build had started, I found Manjaro have a patch to disable this (by deleting the line that makes the test), originally from Fedora. The original is at http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/rpms/libreoffice.git/tree/0001-disable-firebird-unit-test.patch?id=73ecbc7997c92f483811733dcacba315edf59787 and fedora have been using it for two years, although they also seem to require firebird as a dep, and to use the --disable option : perhaps differnet supported architectures use different parts of hte specfile, I did not read too closely. Anyway, they created this patch days before they moved to LO-4.1.5. So, I am puzzled why I have only now seen this (or, perhaps I did see it in the past - I know there have been problems with one or more unit tests). For the future, I think I'll keep the switch (I have no need for firebird), but I'm not sure if it belongs in the book. ĸen -- This email was written using 100% recycled letters. -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
