LFS 8.3 stable: test problems


So int he past tday or so I've been getting a situation that repeats across several packges. I test-build (but do not install) each packge in my current 8.1 system. I then move the files to 8.3 for the real build, pack & install.

The problem is, I am getting sometimes getting test failures in 8.3 and not in 8.1.

For example, current pacakge I am working on is libtool. Fine in 8.1, only expected failures. IN 8.3, looks like two failures:

flex and I think grep were two packages with a similar failure pattern. I installed them and pressed on.

Meanwhile, glibc, gcc and bash tested fine.

I am wondering if such errors mean my system is broken or not? I am aware that jalfs and such skip testing altogether and they seem to work, which makes me wonder in some cases if the tests are a true indication or not?

My choices are:
1: press on and if it boots and one can log in, all is fine.
2: it's hosed. stop.

Thank you.

If you read the appropriate section of the book carefully, you will see that there are five failures that occur during libtool testing when automake is not installed. In other words, these may not be described by the package developers as "expected failures" but they are to be expected in the LFS environment.

If you rerun the tests after installing automake, everything should pass.

As a general rule when running tests, treat any failure that is mentioned in the book as an expected failure. Above and beyond that, 1 or 2 failures are OK, several are probably not. Some LFS users don't even run the tests except for essential tools like gcc and glibc.

D'oh! I'm soory. Usually I don't overlook this sort of thing.

This is kind of the feeling I was getting. glibc and gcc went fine, so maybe my system is OK.
