Changes (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
* owner: lfs-book@linuxfromscratch.org = [EMAIL PROTECTED]
* status: new = assigned
Comment:
Confirmed; and here's how:
* Start up the LiveCD.
* Copy /bin/stty to /usr/local/bin
* Compile tcl/expect/dejagnu like you would in chapter 5.
* Remove /usr/local/bin/stty
* Compile the calc example that comes with the dejagnu source (make sure
your PATH is set to use the new testsuite tools):
{{{
cd example/calc
make
make check
}}}
* The check will fail and calc.log will contain something like the
following:
{{{
sh: /usr/local/bin/stty: No such file or directory
calc: ERROR: Can't start /path/to/dejagnu-1.4.4/example/calc/calc
}}}

Comment (by [EMAIL PROTECTED]):
Adding these two lines to the book commands would 'fix' this behavior:
{{{
cp configure{,.bak}
sed 's:/usr/local/bin:/bin:' configure.bak configure
}}}
That would produce the following in the 'configure' script:
{{{
echo configure:2028: checking stty to use 5
if test -r /bin/stty ; then
STTY_BIN=/bin/stty
else
STTY_BIN=/bin/stty
fi
}}}
If you like this fix, I made a patch:

If there is a stty binary in /usr/local/bin on the host (default install
of coreutils), that gets picked up by expect's configure script:
{{{
if test -r /usr/local/bin/stty ; then
STTY_BIN=/usr/local/bin/stty
else
STTY_BIN=/bin/stty
fi
}}}
This gets compiled into libexpect and utimately breaks dejagnu in ch6
because we have created a symlink to /tools/bin/stty in /bin but not in
/usr/local/bin.
I see two possible fixes:
1. ln -s /bin/stty /usr/local/bin in the Essential Symlinks[[BR]]
Don't like that as it pollutes the final LFS environment.
2. Fix Expect's configure.status and/or Makefile with a sed between the
./configure and the make. [[BR]]
(Probably should check first that /bin/stty actually exists on the host.)
