Hi,
If this isn't the appropriate forum, please be kind and let me know.
In working through the book I came across this note when I ran the Glibc
tests in my chrooted environment:
"The elf/tst-protected1a and elf/tst-protected1a tests are known to fail
with the current stable version of binutils."
I think it ought to be written as:
The elf/tst-protected1a and elf/tst-protected1b tests are known to fail
with the current stable version of binutils.
That has been fixed.
Thanks. I looked at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/support.html,
but I would like to know if this list is a reasonable place to ask about
an issue after first looking at the FAQ, doing a web search, and a
search of the support list itself? Or should I have looked somewhere
else first? (IRC, svn, somemysticalplace).
I am basing this on the fact that I got the following errors that were
all accounted for in the notes except for ef/tst-protected1b:
FAIL: elf/tst-protected1a
FAIL: elf/tst-protected1b
FAIL: posix/tst-getaddrinfo4
FAIL: posix/tst-getaddrinfo5
Summary of test results:
4 FAIL
2307 PASS
88 XFAIL
3 XPASS
Can you confirm this to be the case? Also, are XFAIL results problematic
at this stage?
No. That means they are expected to fail.
Duh. Thank you for responding kindly. It seems like I learn something
new every 10 minutes going through LFS. It is amazing how much I've
learned by paying attention to the individual steps - what they affect,
the messages they return, how they depend on each other, how they relate
to the host (or not), and painfully, how they fail when they fail. By
the way, thanks for doing the heavy lifting on the book. I went through
LFS in 2004 and it was mostly a series of recipes at that time. It has
significantly improved.
