Hopefully this is a legit reason to e-mail this list...anyway, trying to
compile binutils 2.11.2, configure works great, and the thing appears to
build just fine ("make"), but when I run the test suite ("make check"), I
get these little anomalies/errors.
a) warnings, apparently every time it tries to run a test. They are one or
both of the following:
WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.
WARNING: Couldn't find tool init file
I've seen these when other stuff compiled, but I think I read somewhere
that these are negligible little ditties.
b) non-fatal errors when running the checks, to the tune of:
ERROR: tcl error sourcing
/root/downloads/binutils-2.11.2/binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/nm.exp
ERROR: wrong # args: should be "regsub ?switches? exp string
subSpec varName"
In fact, the only check that there is no error from is this:
Running
/root/downloads/binutils-2.11.2/binutils/testsuite/binutils-all/hppa/objdump.exp
...
c) When it gets to trying to run gas.exp, that's when it finally gives up
the good fight and returns:
make[3]: *** [check-DEJAGNU] Error 1
make[3]: Leaving directory `/root/downloads/binutils-2.11.2/gas'
make[2]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make[2]: Leaving directory `/root/downloads/binutils-2.11.2/gas'
make[1]: *** [check-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/root/downloads/binutils-2.11.2/gas'
make: *** [check-gas] Error 2
Does anyone have any clues as to what's going on here and how I could
resolve it? I'm compiling on Linux i586 2.4.5 w/ GCC 2.95.3, glibc 2.1.13,
tcl/tk 8.3.3, expect 5.32, and dejagnu 1.4.1. It's basically a Slackware
7.1 installation with some upgrades.
