Hi,
I am currently preparing the cygwin package for
HDF5-1.6.10 and HDF5-1.8.4, and there 2 issues with
"make check" that are really annoying me.
1)
As we are using libtool the check for library
on test/testlibinfo.sh.in
---------------------------------------------
# Different OS uses different naming for shared libs.
case `uname -s` in
Darwin) # MacOS
shlibsuffix=.dylib
break
;;
*) # default
shlibsuffix=.so
break
;;
esac
[cut]
# Check dynamic library file if built.
if [ x-$Shared_Lib = x-yes ]; then
CHECK_LIBINFO ${h5libdir}/libhdf5${shlibsuffix}
else
SKIP ${h5libdir}/libhdf5${shlibsuffix}
fi
---------------------------------------------------
is useless and I am bypassing it.
It will be better to look for dlname assignment on src/libhdf5.la.
On my cygwin for example
$ grep dlname src/libhdf5.la
dlname='cyghdf5-6.dll'
and use such name for the testing.
2)
usually on other packages "make check" perform all the tests
and don't stop on failures.
Currently I need to run several times "make check" and
fool every time the failed test with some "touch xxx.chkexe".
Not really efficient
