Problem
=======
My coreutils debian package build fails.
Environment
===========
Scratchbox 1.0.3
Foreign tool chain
sbrsh 7.1
Cause
=====
Tests fail because error messages from the tested app include its' full
path.
EXAMPLE:
-: test fail-1: stderr mismatch, comparing fail-1.1 (actual) and
fail-1.E (expected)
*** fail-1.1 Wed Jul 5 13:52:15 2006
--- fail-1.E Wed Jul 5 13:52:15 2006
***************
*** 1,2 ****
! basename: too few arguments
! Try `basename --help' for more information.
--- 1,2 ----
!
/home/ppearse/coreutils-5.2.1/build-tree/coreutils-5.2.1/tests/basename/../.
./src/basename: too few arguments
! Try
`/home/ppearse/coreutils-5.2.1/build-tree/coreutils-5.2.1/tests/basename/../
../src/basename --help' for more information.
More detail
===========
With a test program which prints argv[0]:-
In my scratchbox:-
[sbox-2006q1_6: ~] > pwd
/home/ppearse
[sbox-2006q1_6: ~] > ./a.out
My argv[0] is ./a.out
[sbox-2006q1_6: ~] > cd tests/testdir/appname
My argv[0] is ../../../a.out
[sbox-2006q1_6: ~/tests/testdir/appname] > export
PATH=/home/ppearse:${PATH}
[sbox-2006q1_6: ~/tests/testdir/appname] > a.out
My argv[0] is /home/ppearse/a.out
On my target (and various other machines) :-
/var/sbrshd/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2006q1_6/home/ppearse # ./a.out
My argv[0] is ./a.out
/var/sbrshd/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2006q1_6/home/ppearse # cd
tests/testdir/appname
/var/sbrshd/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2006q1_6/home/ppearse/tests/testdir/appname
# ../../../a.out
My argv[0] is ../../../a.out
/var/sbrshd/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2006q1_6/home/ppearse/tests/testdir/appname
#
export
PATH=/var/sbrshd/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2006q1_6/home/ppearse:${PATH}
/var/sbrshd/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/2006q1_6/home/ppearse/tests/testdir/appname
# a.out
My argv[0] is a.out
Questions
=========
I know I could
kludge the test scripts
perhaps use coreutils/src/system.h/initialize_main to strip the path
etc.
But not the answer to these questions:-
Is this due to an error in my installation?
Is this an sbrsh bug which I should report?
Any answers welcomed.....
