#2091: iproute2-2.6.23 ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: 7.0 Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | ------------------------------------------+--------------------------------- Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Note that there are tests in the testsuite/ directory, but in order to evaluate which tests to execute,it tries to read /proc/config.gz, which doesn't exist in the chroot environment. Even if it did, it would be the host's version of that file so wouldn't be particularly reliable of the features to test for. Now, how best to explain this in the book? Obviously 'This package does not come with a testsuite' isn't accurate any longer. I suggest the following text: 'This package comes with a testsuite, but due to assumptions it makes, it is not possible to reliably run these tests from within the chroot environment. If you wish to run these tests after booting into your new LFS system, ensure you selected /proc/config.gz support into your kernel then run 'make alltests' from the testsuite/ subdirectory.' Other suggestions welcome, of course. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2091#comment:1> LFS Trac <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/> Linux From Scratch: Your Distro, Your Rules. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-book FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
