Hi,

I've ran make check after flex was installed and I get some errors regarding the diagnostic tests and I'm not sure why. I've followed the book up to that point to a t.

Although it seems that these tests are optional and even the log for bison in lfs i7 test-log <http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/build-logs/9.1/i7-5820K/test-logs/> is empty. The test suite for flex ran without errors:

grep FAIL log_dir/chapter06/flex.txt
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL:  0

I've attached my test log for bison if you want to look at it.

If this isn't serious, I guess I should move on.

It doesn't seem to be serious. I've downloaded the log, and it looks like there's 11 failures out of 575. Here's the relevant part of the log for anyone looking for it:

Diagnostics.

130: Warnings                                        FAILED (diagnostics.at:107) 131: Single point locations                          FAILED (diagnostics.at:152) 132: Tabulations and multibyte characters            FAILED (diagnostics.at:208) 133: Special files                                   FAILED (diagnostics.at:234) 134: Complaints from M4                              FAILED (diagnostics.at:257) 135: Carriage return                                 FAILED (diagnostics.at:279) 136: CR NL                                           FAILED (diagnostics.at:307) 137: Screen width: 200 columns                       FAILED (diagnostics.at:346) 138: Screen width: 80 columns                        FAILED (diagnostics.at:379) 139: Screen width: 60 columns                        FAILED (diagnostics.at:412) 140: Suggestions                                     FAILED (diagnostics.at:436)
141: Indentation with message suppression            ok


Since all of the other tests are passing, I think you're good to continue. The skipped ones are primarily for languages that aren't installed.

I'll note that I'm not sure how long it's been since we've run the test suite for bison. Our automated build system normally doesn't go back to bison to rebuild it for testing. I think that it's tested when it's updated though.
