Hello list,
I'm using BLFS book version svn-20050720. All has been going smooth. I
already installed Xorg, xfce and firefox + other packages. I haven't
deviated much from the packages in the book--yet :-). While building
popt-1.7-5, at the end of the tests, make check fails with:
...
Running test test3 - 41.
diff: test3-data/01.answer: No such file or directory
Test "test3 - 41" failed output is in /sources/popt-1.7/tmp.out, diff
is:
FAIL: testit.sh
===================
1 of 1 tests failed
===================
make[2]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/sources/popt-1.7'
make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/popt-1.7'
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
There is no test3-data/ directory in the build directory so maybe it's
something to do with that. I applied the patch and configured using:
patch -Np1 -i ../popt_1.7-5.diff &&
./configure --prefix=/usr &&
cp configure.in configure.ac &&
touch configure.in configure.ac
then built using:
( make 2>&1 | tee compile.log && exit $PIPESTATUS )
I get the following warnings during the build:
cd . && /sources/popt-1.7/missing aclocal-1.4
WARNING: `aclocal-1.4' is missing on your system. You should only need
it if
you modified `acinclude.m4' or `configure.ac'. You might want
to install the `Automake' and `Perl' packages. Grab them from
any GNU archive site.
cd . && /sources/popt-1.7/missing automake-1.4 --foreign Makefile
WARNING: `automake-1.4' is missing on your system. You should only
need it if
you modified `Makefile.am', `acinclude.m4' or `configure.ac'.

Grab them from any GNU archive site.
cd . && autoconf
autoconf: warning: both `configure.ac' and `configure.in' are present.
autoconf: warning: proceeding with `configure.ac'.
/bin/sh ./config.status --recheck
running /bin/sh ./configure --prefix=/usr --no-create --no-recursion
...
I'm assuming the warnings can be ignored and are not related to the
tests failing. Any Ideas?
Regards,
Tarek
