Package: ilmbase Version: 1.0.1-1 Severity: minor The testcase of ilmbase fails on Alpha with "upstream" compilers. ilmbase needs to be compiled with the -mieee option on Alpha, otherwise the testcase will fail. In Debian gcc, we set -mieee by default on Alpha, but this is not done in pristine gcc (or in the gcc-snapshot package in unstable). Hence, this failure is not relevant in Debian, but it's still an upstream problem.
Here's some background on -mieee on Alpha: http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/gccintro/gccintro_66.html > Build started at 20071223-1418 ... > rounding denormalized numbers to 1-bit precision > max error = 1.52588e-05 > max expected error = 1.52588e-05 > ok > > rounding normalized numbers to 0-bit precision > max error = 0.499756 > max expected error = 0.499999 > ok > > rounding denormalized numbers to 0-bit precision > max error = 3.05176e-05 > max expected error = 3.05176e-05 > ok > > /bin/sh: line 4: 1506 Floating point exception${dir}$tst > FAIL: HalfTest > =================== > 1 of 1 tests failed > =================== > make[3]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1 > make[3]: Leaving directory > `/build/tbm/ilmbase-1.0.1/obj-alpha-linux-gnu/HalfTest' > make[2]: *** [check-am] Error 2 > make[2]: Leaving directory > `/build/tbm/ilmbase-1.0.1/obj-alpha-linux-gnu/HalfTest' -- Martin Michlmayr http://www.cyrius.com/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
