Be careful! The method suggested in the book to check the glibc package suggests running "make -k check" instead of usual "make check" and redirect the output to a file so that you can look through it later to find errors and probably other things of interest. Note the "-k" argument that tells make not to stop upon errors. That causes make to run all the tests in spite of some of them failed. When you run just "make check" make stops at the _first_ error and "remembers" that error. If you then run "make check" for the second time, it will _not_ stop at the error it has stopped at the previous try so it will stop at the first "unknown" error. So, running "make check" several times you will "move" between errors seeing a new one every time make stops. No wonder that at the end you saw no errors. You had seen all the actual errors before. Your first letter proves the description above: > every time I ran make check I got different errors, So, the real number of errors your glibc has is equal to the number of times you had to re-run "make check" after it had failed. It's your system and your rules but I recommend you running "make -k check" if possible and grepping the output as the book says. -- Nothing but perfection pv -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
