I ran the regression tests for automake-1.8.5 (yes, I know there are newer versions) on OpenBSD 3.7-beta. only failures were libtool7.test and spy.test.
I think I understand the problem with libtool7.test, but the spy.test, I don't fully understand what's going wrong there, as it seems to work if I run it by hand: puff:/home/portobj/automake-1.8.5/automake-1.8.5/tests% ./spy.test /home/portobj/automake-1.8.5/automake-1.8.5/tests:/home/jakemsr/bin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/X11R6/bin === Running test ./spy.test + pwd /home/portobj/automake-1.8.5/automake-1.8.5/tests/testSubDir + set -e + cat + > Makefile + << \EOF + touch b c + sleep 2 + : + > a + make `a' is up to date. `a' is up to date. + cat a + test = + sleep 2 + touch b + make echo rule1 >> a `a' is up to date. + cat a + test rule1 = rule1 + : + > a + sleep 2 + touch c + make `a' is up to date. echo rule2 >> a + cat a + test rule2 = rule2 puff:/home/portobj/automake-1.8.5/automake-1.8.5/tests% echo $? 0 puff:/home/portobj/automake-1.8.5/automake-1.8.5/tests% why is this reported as FAIL? I couldn't find any mention of spy.test issues from searching the archives on sources.redhat.com. -- <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
