Hello, I have attempted to build attr but it returned many failed tests.
Hoping that those failed tests might be irrelevant (long shot - I know) I went ahead to ACL but it needed something missing from attr: Chapter 6.22 ... checking for rpm... no checking attr/xattr.h usability... no checking attr/xattr.h presence... no checking for attr/xattr.h... no FATAL ERROR: attr/xattr.h does not exist. Install the extended attributes (attr) development package. Alternatively, run "make install-dev" from the attr source. So I've retraced my prior step (Ch 6.21: attr) but I still get errors: Chapter 6.21 root:/sources/attr-2.4.47# make -j1 tests root-tests ... 114 commands (38 passed, 76 failed) Makefile:40: recipe for target 'attr.test' failed make[1]: *** [attr.test] Error 76 make[1]: Leaving directory '/sources/attr-2.4.47/test' Makefile:116: recipe for target 'tests' failed make: *** [tests] Error 2 But I went ahead and ran 'make install install-dev install-lib' again plus the other (chmod,mv and ln). Then again I retried ACL and now the error moved a few paces down: Chapter 6.22 ... checking for rpm... no checking attr/xattr.h usability... yes checking attr/xattr.h presence... yes checking for attr/xattr.h... yes checking attr/error_context.h usability... yes checking attr/error_context.h presence... yes checking for attr/error_context.h... yes checking for getxattr in -lattr... no FATAL ERROR: could not find a valid Extended Attributes library. Install the extended attributes (attr) development package. Alternatively, run "make install-lib" from the attr source. Can you spot the problem? Do you have any suggestions?
