When building LFS-20060420, I had an error while testing tar in chapter6. Tar testsuite assumes that readdir() returns file names in the order they are created in but this was wrong for me (linux-2.6.15.7). The possible test failure should be noticed in the book, shouldn't it?
Also I found this link: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-tar/2005-07/msg00000.html The error I had was the following: ... make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/src/tmp/tar-1.15.1/tests' make check-local make[2]: Entering directory `/root/src/tmp/tar-1.15.1/tests' /bin/sh ./testsuite ## -------------------------- ## ## GNU tar 1.15.1 test suite. ## ## -------------------------- ## 1: tar version ok 2: decompressing from stdin FAILED (pipe.at:50) ... <the rest is ok> -- Nothing but perfection pv -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
