By default the testsuite calls 'diff -u' whenever a file comparison is called for. Unfortunately that throws a "diff: unknown option '-u'" error for most non-GNU diffs. This patch sets GIT_TEST_CMP to 'cmp' on all the architectures where that happens. As a matter of fact, the testsuite as a whole still fails around 70% of all tests, but I'm able to clone a repository and commit to a local branch on those machines, so I'm pretty sure that the problem is the testsuite itself. --- Makefile | 15 +++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 15 insertions(+) Index: b/Makefile =================================================================== --- a/Makefile +++ b/Makefile @@ -767,6 +767,16 @@ ifeq ($(uname_S),SunOS) NO_MKDTEMP = YesPlease NO_MKSTEMPS = YesPlease NO_REGEX = YesPlease + ifeq ($(uname_R),5.6) + NO_IPV6 = YesPlease + NO_SOCKADDR_STORAGE = YesPlease + NO_UNSETENV = YesPlease + NO_SETENV = YesPlease + NO_STRLCPY = YesPlease + NO_C99_FORMAT = YesPlease + NO_STRTOUMAX = YesPlease + GIT_TEST_CMP = cmp + endif ifeq ($(uname_R),5.7) NEEDS_RESOLV = YesPlease NO_IPV6 = YesPlease @@ -776,18 +786,21 @@ ifeq ($(uname_S),SunOS) NO_STRLCPY = YesPlease NO_C99_FORMAT = YesPlease NO_STRTOUMAX = YesPlease + GIT_TEST_CMP = cmp endif ifeq ($(uname_R),5.8) NO_UNSETENV = YesPlease NO_SETENV = YesPlease NO_C99_FORMAT = YesPlease NO_STRTOUMAX = YesPlease + GIT_TEST_CMP = cmp endif ifeq ($(uname_R),5.9) NO_UNSETENV = YesPlease NO_SETENV = YesPlease NO_C99_FORMAT = YesPlease NO_STRTOUMAX = YesPlease + GIT_TEST_CMP = cmp endif INSTALL = /usr/ucb/install TAR = gtar @@ -861,6 +874,7 @@ ifeq ($(uname_S),AIX) else PTHREAD_LIBS = -lpthread endif + GIT_TEST_CMP = cmp endif ifeq ($(uname_S),GNU) # GNU/Hurd @@ -915,6 +929,7 @@ ifeq ($(uname_S),HP-UX) NO_HSTRERROR = YesPlease NO_SYS_SELECT_H = YesPlease SNPRINTF_RETURNS_BOGUS = YesPlease + GIT_TEST_CMP = cmp endif ifeq ($(uname_S),Windows) GIT_VERSION := $(GIT_VERSION).MSVC Index: b/t/Makefile =================================================================== --- a/t/Makefile +++ b/t/Makefile @@ -3,6 +3,7 @@ # Copyright (c) 2005 Junio C Hamano # +-include ../config.mak.autogen -include ../config.mak #GIT_TEST_OPTS=--verbose --debug -- Gary V.
