Dear List,
in what is (or was a few days ago!) the 'live' LFS Book
(LFS-BOOK-SVN-20051223), I can't get the test-suite for
6.50, Module-Init-Utils to run *at all*. Ignoring the test result,
everything seems to build, but I haven't dared install it on
top of the existing version.
In a fit of amazing helpfulness, the failure does its best to
delete its own audit trail. The first test to be run,
tests/test-depmod/01backcompat.sh , produces no output
and returns an error, and the built objects are deleted
before I can look at them!
Doubtless with patience and time I could modify the makefile
and the associated scripts until I could get some sort of output,
but I'd like to be told whether anyone else knows what I'm doing
wrong... I'm fairly sure I must have crocked some part of my
toolchain very heavily, but for some reason it hasn't showed
up hitherto (and, yes, I do run testsuites and check the output!).
A virtually identical problem (well, as far as one can tell!)
showed up on a German web-forum a few years ago, but only
got "Gosh, really? I don't understand" as a response.
I've been rebuilding everything which has changed between 6.1pre
to the (then) live state - this was at about 23rd December - with the
latest versions. I'd already moved to GCC-4.0.2 and glibc-2.3.6
before I started. Note that this is not a 'clean' LFS build - I have
a full LFS build already (indeed, rather a lot of BLFS on top of
it), and I am replacing it "in place", basing myself on Chapter 6,
but with rather fewer suppositions about what's already there
than are made in Chapter 6, so I don't trample all over existing
configurations.
