If someone with an understanding of MacOSX/Darwin could have a look at
the FAIL report here:
http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/ef9f6640-5528-11e1-b453-f9f6ec0326e0
I would appreciate feedback.
The report is surprisingly terse this time; there's just not much info
to go by. If it seems to others that we need more information too, I
can easily add some code to 00load_prereqs.t to add diag() statements
providing a better look at the configuration of the smoker's
environment.
Essentially before releasing 0.34_002 I would like to either patch
this problem (probably via some special case code in Makefile.PL), or
patch 00load_prereqs.t to provide additional diagnostic info (but I
need some hints on what I should be looking for).
Disclaimer: I know nothing about MacOS - except that it appears to be even
more arcane than Windows.
The "Non-zero wait status" is probably significant. I think I've seen plenty
of "Non-zero exit status" announcements, but can't recall ever seeing
"Non-zero wait status". (Unless I've been misreading the "wait" as "exit"
.... which is possible)
Understanding the sorts of things that could create a "Non-zero wait status"
is probably the key to determining what needs to be probed. (Other than
that, I don't see that there's anything to go by at all !)
Anybody know what can cause a "Non-zero wait status" ? (I don't know.)
Perhaps it just indicates that the compilation of the script failed. If
BUILD_NOISY writes to STDERR (I haven't checked) then maybe specify that in
01basic.t and 02prefix.t ... see if that sheds any light on the matter.
Cheers,
Rob
