Thanks.
I am fairly new to this world and I just wanted to clarify that it was ok for
the target to end in an "error" when running the test suite.
I was under the impression that the -k switch would still end in a "target"
success (because the tests were run) but your explanation (from the man page)
below makes sense.
Thanks for the clarification

Morning [finally someone in same time zone]
as this has been answered im adding a bit of info re "make -k switch"
using -k as a switch to make will continue on failure and not die immediately.
the target will fail overall as seen "not remade ....." using -j and -k
together is
a good way to sledge hammer a build when its not 100% multi thread friendly
and builds things out of order.
from "man make"

-k, --keep-going
Continue as much as possible after an error. While the target that
failed, and those that depend on it, cannot be remade, the other
dependencies of
these targets can be processed all the same.

Hello
I ran a “make” and it completed successfully.
I then ran a “make –k check 2>&1 | tee glibc-check-log”.
My question this :
Does the above “make check” fail if the expected failures(as listed in the
book) fail ?
After the grep, I only had the expected errors, but the make ended with
make[1] : Target ‘check’ not remade because of errors.
Is that ok ?
Thanks
Jeff
