Replying to [comment:1 martyj19]: > I'd be cautious with this one. I find that the test system won't run. There appears to be a regression in the handling of comments. Worst case this means flex input files in other packages may become broken. > > - Marty I've just finished a clfs build on ppc with 2.5.34 and all of my current desktop (icewm, gimp, lots of gnome deps for epiphany, gcalctool, gedit, gnumeric, gucharmap, yelp, first part of kde, full cdrdao, gnash, sundry av players and libraries) but I had exactly one package failing to build (libIDL) - my proposed fix for that is at bugzilla.gnome.org, (bug 507344, attachment 102158) - in that case it complained about a few '%' identifiers starting with a '%p something' and didn't pass any of the input file to the output. After I changed it to '%pointer something' it was happy, the resulting file looks like what 2.5.33 produced (modulo changes from the version upgrade), compiles and runs fine. My logs show the following packages (only) used flex and didn't give any aggravation: kbd, iproute, and then bc, libbonobo, gcalctool. Nothing else on my desktop uses flex, so I tend to think that for most people it won't be a big deal. Agreed, 'make check' doesn't do anything useful (seems to end ok, just not actually run any tests), but I'm fairly sure I've seen that before, with an earlier release. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2117#comment:5> 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
