#2205: Blanket notes for updated builds (SVN-DJL-20080825) ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Reporter: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Owner: [email protected] Type: task | Status: new Priority: normal | Milestone: Future Component: Book | Version: SVN Severity: normal | Resolution: Keywords: | ----------------------------------------+----------------------------------- Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
There is a known test failure in binutils-2.18 when using GCC-4.3.x (ld-shared test). Upstream has it fixed. I added a patch to the repo. http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/patches/downloads/binutils/binutils-2.18-GCC43-1.patch Additionally, because binutils is part of the "toolchain", I think we should show how to confirm the test suite ran as expected (as we do with Glibc and GCC). Simply issue grep "# of" check.log; grep test- check.log (assuming the output from the tests was output to "check.log") and the following should be returned: # of expected passes 45 # of expected passes 185 # of expected passes 439 # of expected failures 4 ./test-demangle < ../../../binutils-2.18/libiberty/testsuite/demangle- expected ./test-demangle: 765 tests, 0 failures ./test-pexecute ./test-expandargv PASS: test-expandargv-0. PASS: test-expandargv-1. PASS: test-expandargv-2. PASS: test-expandargv-3. Finally, we should pass parameters to configure so that the man and info files will be installed to /usr/share instead of /usr/man and /usr/info. -- Ticket URL: <http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/ticket/2205#comment:20> 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
