I have spend a good day trying to figure out the cause of all tests failing except for the first two and last two when issuing the 'make check' command;
I am using the 6.6 version of the LFS book. Running on Ubuntu desktop 9.10. Which in turn is a virtual machine on VMware ESXi 4.0 free. I am new to Linux development but have considerable console programming experience in C, C++, Java and earlier languages. I am wanting to begin an open source development project to run on Linux so looking to broaden my foundation via this LFS process. So I am looking for help in this specific problem but also want to understand what were the key observations that lead to the solution. Below is the test results section listed on the terminal during 'make check' with the middle 97 failed tests snipped out of the middle: Creating test_script... Running e2fsprogs test suite... d_loaddump: debugfs load/dump test: cmp: test.verify: No such file or directory failed e_brel_bma: block relocation table using the memory array implementation: skipped e_icount_normal: inode counting abstraction optimized for storing inode counts: ok e_icount_opt: inode counting abstraction optimized for counting: ok e_irel_ima: inode relocation table using the memory array implementation: skipped f_16384_block: 16384 byte blocksize: failed f_8192_block: 8192 byte blocksize: failed <SNIP -97 other failed tests> r_inline_xattr: shrinking filesystem with in-inode extended attributes: failed r_move_itable: filesystem resize which requires moving the inode table: failed r_resize_inode: filesystem resize with a resize_inode present: failed u_mke2fs: e2undo with mke2fs: ok u_tune2fs: e2undo with tune2fs: ok 4 tests succeeded 101 tests failed make[1]: *** [check] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/e2fsprogs-1.41.10/build/tests' make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1 I used the standard config command from the book: ../configure --prefix=/usr --with-root-prefix="" \ --enable-elf-shlibs --disable-libblkid --disable-libuuid \ --disable-uuidd --disable-fsck Thanks for any insights...
