------- Additional Comments From [EMAIL PROTECTED] 2005-11-03 03:21 ------- (In reply to comment #3) > IMO, this bug should be fixed for 6.1.1 since the current command sequence > cause > problems for folks who run the testsuites. I still don't understand what is meant by "Additionally, running make check messes up the built executables" (quoted from the referenced email). Regardless, I think the easiest solution for the branch is to say that this package doesn't come with a testsuite (as it doesn't, technically). We can fix it properly on trunk when the next version of the package comes out. Does that sound reasonable, or am I being too conservative? The alternative, of course, is to mention where to grab the testsuite tarball from, provide the new instructions, along with a decent explanation of why the `make distclean' is required (i.e. answering the "what does 'messes up the built executables' mean?" question above. Finally, I don't like the fact that, if we were to use the commands as given in the referenced email, we'd end up running the testsuite on executables built differently to those that will be finally installed on the system. I'm therefore proposing that if the testsuite does get added to the book we use the following recipe: ./configure --prefix="" --enable-zlib && make check && make distclean && ./configure --prefix="" --enable-zlib && make && make install ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug, or are watching the assignee.
