Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-8776: ---------------------------------------------- * I think we should call the flag {{\--build-native}}, and have it take {{true}} or {{false}} as an argument. That way it will be useful in more cases. For example, we may want to verify that the unit tests pass on Linux when the native libraries are not present. * remember to rebase on trunk now that HDFS-3753 is in. You'll need to avoid passing {{\-Drequire.test.libhadoop}} when the native build is disabled. > Provide an option in test-patch that can enable / disable compiling native > code > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8776 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8776 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: build > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala > Assignee: Hemanth Yamijala > Priority: Minor > Attachments: HADOOP-8776.patch, HADOOP-8776.patch, HADOOP-8776.patch > > > The test-patch script in Hadoop source runs a native compile with the patch. > On platforms like MAC, there are issues with the native compile that make it > difficult to use test-patch. This JIRA is to try and provide an option to > make the native compilation optional. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
