Is it just me or is expect completely broken? I had deleted /tools, but wanted to do "make -k check" now for gcc-4.1.
I compiled and installed tcl, using the instructions from the book (SVN-20060117), replacing /tools with /usr. Then I tried the same with expect and it fails miserably I tried the tarballs from sourceforge and from http://expect.nist.gov/src/ with the same results. ./configure gives an error: configure: error: can not find sources in . or .. checking configure I find: line 537: ac_unique_file=expect line 553: if test ! -r $srcdir/$ac_unique_file; then if test "$ac_srcdir_defaulted" = yes; then { echo "configure: error: can not find sources in $ac_confdir or .." 1>&2; exit 1; } There is no file "expect" in the sources, so I changed the line into: line 537: ac_unique_file=expect.c which brought me past this error. I save you further details but I couldn't get much further. I gave up and tried the same with expect-5.42.1 which worked perfect. BTW, expect-5.43.0-spawn-1.patch goes in for 5.43.0, but has fuzz and offsets, which is not the case when patching 5.42.1 with it. Rainer PS. I just copied the configure from 5.42.1 into 5.43.0 and it finishes, so it seems that indeed expect 5.43.0 is broken. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
