Hi, I tried the "make check" of 1.7.2 on Tru64Unix using AFS filesystem and have found the following failed:
XFAIL: auxdir2.test XFAIL: cond17.test FAIL: obsolete.test - automake bug, see below FAIL: yacc7.test - bison bug, actually compiler optimization bug Unfortunately, I cannot find out where is the logfile of the test executions to inspect details. The documentation on this is very bad: http://www.gnu.org/manual/automake/html_mono/automake.html#SEC96 , so I have to ask here for help. :) I found out I can run the test myself at least. Here are the details on the automake bug. It is related to --prefix=/software/@sys/usr . The `@sys' is AFS variable, expanded by kernel, not by any shell. Unfortunately, it fools perl. serow$ ./obsolete.test === Running test ./obsolete.test + pwd /cluster/members/member0/tmp/automake-1.7.2/tests/testSubDir + cat + /software/@sys/usr/bin/perl -ne /AU_DEFUN\(\[(\w+)\]/ && print "$1\n" +/cluster/members/member0/tmp/automake-1.7.2/tests/../m4/obsolete.m4 + cat obs + /software/@sys/usr/bin/perl -ne chomp; print "grep $_ stderr || exit 1\n"; obs + /software/@sys/usr/bin/perl -ne chomp; print "grep $_ configure.in && exit 1\n"; obs + wc -l + cat configure.in + test 14 -gt 1 + /software/@sys/usr/bin/perl +/cluster/members/member0/tmp/automake-1.7.2/tests/testSubDir/../../aclocal -I +/cluster/members/member0/tmp/automake-1.7.2/tests/testSubDir/../../m4 +--acdir=/cluster/members/member0/tmp/automake-1.7.2/tests/../m4 + /bin/bash /tmp/automake-1.7.2/lib/missing --run autoconf -Wobsolete + . ./obs.1 + grep AC_FEATURE_CTYPE stderr configure.in:2: warning: The macro `AC_FEATURE_CTYPE' is obsolete. + grep AC_FEATURE_ERRNO stderr configure.in:3: warning: The macro `AC_FEATURE_ERRNO' is obsolete. + grep AM_CYGWIN32 stderr configure.in:4: warning: The macro `AM_CYGWIN32' is obsolete. + grep AM_EXEEXT stderr configure.in:5: warning: The macro `AM_EXEEXT' is obsolete. + grep AM_FUNC_MKTIME stderr configure.in:6: warning: The macro `AM_FUNC_MKTIME' is obsolete. + grep AM_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_NEEDS_SYS_IOCTL stderr configure.in:7: warning: The macro `AM_HEADER_TIOCGWINSZ_NEEDS_SYS_IOCTL' is obsolete. + grep AM_MINGW32 stderr configure.in:8: warning: The macro `AM_MINGW32' is obsolete. + grep AM_PROG_INSTALL stderr configure.in:9: warning: The macro `AM_PROG_INSTALL' is obsolete. + grep AM_SANITY_CHECK_CC stderr configure.in:10: warning: The macro `AM_SANITY_CHECK_CC' is obsolete. + grep AM_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS stderr configure.in:11: warning: The macro `AM_SYS_POSIX_TERMIOS' is obsolete. + grep fp_FUNC_FNMATCH stderr configure.in:12: warning: The macro `fp_FUNC_FNMATCH' is obsolete. + grep fp_PROG_INSTALL stderr configure.in:13: warning: The macro `fp_PROG_INSTALL' is obsolete. + grep md_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T stderr configure.in:14: warning: The macro `md_TYPE_PTRDIFF_T' is obsolete. + autoupdate Possible unintended interpolation of @sys in string at /software/@sys/usr/bin/autoupdate line 29.
