I'm currently trying to install autoconf-2.59 on my system (sparc-sun-solaris2.8) and I'm seeing something odd with the testsuite. When I run 'make check' from the top level install directory, I get numerous testsuite failures culminating in: Please send `testsuite.log' and all information you think might help: To: <bug-autoconf@xxxxxxx> Subject: [GNU Autoconf 2.59] testsuite: 45 51 52 56 58 60 63 66 68 69 70 71 73 76 84 88 92 100 106 108 109 110 115 121 130 139 140 142 146 150 151 152 158 166 171 176 failed But when I cd into the tests directory and run ./testsuite, all tests pass. At first I suspected a problem with make, but I've just upgraded to gnu make 2.80 (which passes its own 'make check') and I'm still seeing the same problem. The testsuite.log file is a bit too convoluted to decipher. It shows diagnostics for the failed tests, but some of it looks suspicious (e.g. a failed compilation due to a line that reads "choke me" - looks like a deliberate test to halt compilation rather than a genuine error?). I'm not sure which diagnostic to trust - make check or running testsuite directly from the shell. Anyone any suggestions on how best to proceed? Thanks, Mike. _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
