Hello.
I was looking at coreutils test suite on illumos.
There are currently about 5 failing tests.
First are 2 df tests. They assume that struct mntent *getmntent (FILE
*fp) is used by df. But it's not true on SystemV. Instead, int getmntent
(FILE *fp, struct mnttab *mp) is used. Patches to correct tests on
illumos is here:
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/coreutils/patches/tests_df_no-mtab-status.sh.patch
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/coreutils/patches/tests_df_skip-duplicates.sh.patch
3 remaining failing tests are from glib-tests directory.
First one is test-locale.c. It assumes that LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE is a
constant. On illumos it's a function, so compilation fails. Fix is here:
https://github.com/OpenIndiana/oi-userland/blob/oi/hipster/components/coreutils/patches/gnulib-tests_test-locale.c.patch
Second is test-getlogin. It seems to be a bit strange: it compares $USER
and getlogin(). Under "su" they don't match, so it can occasionally fail.
Third (test-getlogin) is a bit tricky. It uses
gl_locale_name_thread_unsafe, which simply doesn't know about
illumos/Solaris and returns NULL, so the test fails. I don't have a fix
for this one.
