Hi, I am writing a set of articles about Automated Testing in Open Source Software http://www.szabgab.com/blog/2007/07/1183825266.html
As I would like to write about PostgreSQL as well I tried to setup the BuildFarm client. Here is the output: $ ./run_build.pl --test [16:44:34] checking out source ... [16:45:20] checking if build run needed ... [16:45:20] copying source to pgsql.24847 ... [16:45:20] running configure ... Branch: HEAD Stage Configure failed with status 77 What does this mean? Digging a bit in HEAD/lastrun-logs/config.log revealed that I was missing ccache but it was not really clean from that error message. Well, never mind, this must be testing my capabilities as well :-) The second run was slightly better: $ ./run_build.pl --test [16:49:44] checking out source ... [16:50:11] checking if build run needed ... [16:50:11] copying source to pgsql.25565 ... [16:50:12] running configure ... [16:50:42] running make ... Branch: HEAD Stage Make failed with status 2 This time I found HEAD/lastrun-logs/make.log much faster In that file I got tons of error messages mostly related to plpython.c e.g. plpython.c:2984: error: 'PLy_exc_error' undeclared (first use in this function) I installed python-dev and it seems my guess was correct regarding what was missing as on the third attempt the build made further progress and in the end I got All stages succeeded Nice. These two attempts to stop me from running the build client were not really serious. I spent only 15 minutes trying to locate the problem and you even get this mail as a result. :-) Now waiting for my registration to be processed before I can start supplying test reports. -- Gabor Szabo http://www.szabgab.com/ ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 6: explain analyze is your friend
