6.9 glibc check error

dbbolton · 11-28-2009, 01:49 AM

I am on section 6.9 of development LFS: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...r06/glibc.html

After running 'make', I ran:

Code:

cp -v ../glibc-2.11/iconvdata/gconv-modules iconvdata

Then after running:

Code:

make -k check 2>&1 | tee glibc-check-log

I got this error:

Code:

make: *** [check] Error 2

There obviously is a lot more output, but I think this is the relevant bulk of it. Unfortunately, I can't see what the actual error is. All I can determine is that check wasn't remade due to some errors.

Hi,

All the output make check generated should be in the glibc-check-log logfile. All the errors are also in that file, did you take a look at it?

What output did the grep Error glibc-check-log show?

Also: Take a good look at the errors mentioned in the book, some errors are to be expected.

And maybe this will help: Index of /lfs/build-logs/development. The (test) log directories hold the output of the compile/make check steps done for the packages.

Hope this helps.

Here is the grep output:

Code:

make[2]: [/sources/glibc-build/posix/annexc.out] Error 1 (ignored)
make[2]: *** [/sources/glibc-build/rt/tst-cpuclock2.out] Error 1
make[1]: *** [rt/tests] Error 2
make: *** [check] Error 2

The 'rt/tests' one seems to be the only unexplainable one.

Hi,

First: This is a development version, which could mean that some parts are still under construction.

Not sure if you can ignore this error (a quick search with "lfs glibc tst-cpuclock2" gives a ton of hits, but no real answer, but I did look quickly....).

You can have a look in the glibc-check-log log and see why tst-cpuclock2 failed. If there is no mention of missing commands/programs/files you could decide to continue. This package is known to throw some errors and those can be 'ignored' most of the time (as mentioned in the book).

I would continue with caution.

dbbolton · 11-28-2009, 04:46 AM

I think it is possible to ignore the clock error:

Quote:

The nptl/tst-clock2 and tst-attr3 tests sometimes fail. The reason is not completely understood, but indications are that a heavy system load can trigger these failures.

Admittedly, this LFS system is a time-killer and by no means a productive one. I won't really be out anything if it falls apart (maybe a waste of HDD lifespan).

dbbolton · 11-28-2009, 05:09 AM

After running 'make install', I got this:

Code:

Your new glibc installation seems to be ok.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/sources/glibc-2.11'

It looks like it's safe to carry on.

druuna · 11-28-2009, 05:11 AM

Nice to read that this is solved

exvor · 11-29-2009, 07:46 PM

that is a known failure and its expected. From what can be gleamed its because of the hoast system and the chroot environment or something or other I don't remember the particulars but its nothing to be concerned about.
