Related to checking man pages I noticed this error:
~/git/coreutils/man$ make check-programs-vs-x
GEN check-programs-vs-x
missing libstdbuf.so.x
make: *** [check-programs-vs-x] Error 1
"check-programs-vs-x" is called with "distcheck-hook"
so I'm unsure of exactly why this failure is not being triggered.
Anyway this should fix it:
diff a/src/Makefile.am b/src/Makefile.am
all_programs.list:
@echo $(all_programs) | tr ' ' '\n' | sed -e 's,$(EXEEXT)$$,,' \
+ | sed /libstdbuf/d \
| $(ASSORT) -u
I was also wondering about calling "check-programs-vs-x"
from syntax-check instead of dist-check?
cheers,
Pádraig.
