Thanks guys. I picked up coreutils version 7. I didn't
install them but just moved ginstall over to /usr/local/bin.
A few other comments: I had to add in the --without-tcltk flag. I
don't
have tcl installed but the config did not autodetect that it was
not present.
Yup, I usually build with NO_TCLTK=YesPlease in my config.mak, which
you can see from the link Peff posted.
When you said 'out of tree builds' I thought you meant using the AIX
defaults in the Makefile without running ./configure, but it seems
not, you meant is a clone of the tree buildable by itself or are only
release snapshots buildable. Sorry.
Sorry... I thought "out of tree" was a universal term.
Just to be sure we are on the same page. My directory structure has a
top/src/git-1.6.1
and top/build/git.1.6.1. The src/git-1.6.1 is the tar ball. The
build/git-1.6.1 starts out
empty. I cd into it and then do: ../../src/git-1.6.1/configure
<options> After this completes,
you can do "make".
About 90% of the open source configure / autoconf code out there can
do this with.
The other 10% you can not. I like it because when things die, its
easier to grep around
the source tree and I blow away the build directory and start back
over and I know that
I'm starting fresh.
./configure is (deliberately) a second-class citizen in the world of
git, and may still get you a slightly suboptimal build compared with
the defaults on platforms such as AIX... e.g. it doesn't test for
performance-related switches such as INTERNAL_QSORT. If you have run
configure, there's some file you need to blow away to get back to a
non-autoconf world... is it config.mak.autogen?
Despite that, your problem with --without-tcltk falling back to wish,
but not falling back if that isn't installed does look like something
we should fix, as per Peff's mail.
I can't tell if make test is happy or not. The output looks like
its happy
but the exit code is 2.
Below is my "configure" script if anyone is interested.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
export CONFIG_SHELL=/usr/local/bin/bash
export LDFLAGS='-L/usr/local/lib -L/usr/local/ssl/lib'
export CFLAGS='-I/usr/local/include -I/usr/local/ssl/include'
export CC=gcc
echo CONFIG_SHELL set to ${CONFIG_SHELL}
${CONFIG_SHELL} ../../src/git-1.6.1/configure --without-tcltk
#
# Note that to install you need to do:
# make INSTALL=ginstall install
# to use GNU's install program
I build with SHELL_PATH={path}/bash as well. If I don't, the test
suite exits after t0000-basic.sh with an unexpected error despite
passing all the tests.
gmake -C t/ all
gmake[1]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/gitbuild/t'
rm -f -r test-results
gmake aggregate-results-and-cleanup
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/local/src/gitbuild/t'
*** t0000-basic.sh ***
* passed all remaining 40 test(s)
FATAL: Unexpected exit with code 0
gmake[2]: *** [t0000-basic.sh] Error 1
gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gitbuild/t'
gmake[1]: *** [all] Error 2
gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gitbuild/t'
gmake: *** [test] Error 2
Is that what you're seeing? There's many more test scripts than that
8-)
With GIT_SKIP_TESTS='t3900 t3901 t5100.[12] t8005' (to omit some cases
not handled by the version of iconv I have access to on all the AIX
boxes I deploy to) the test suit runs to completion on AIX 5.3 for me.
Yea, part of my larger quest is to start a web site to provide AIX
builds
of open source images as installp images. I have not added iconv to the
mix yet because I fear bad interactions with GNU's and AIX's. In
theory, AIX's
commands should use AIX's library but it would not surprise me if
there are
a few AIX applications that are not built properly.
BTW Are you running AIX's make or GNU make?
yes -- GNU's make and gcc 4.3.1
I just tried setting SHELL_PATH (and exporting it) and the make test
gets into
the second batch and then fails two tests. I assume the
GIT_SKIP_TESTS is
done:
make GIT_SKIP_TESTS=....test
I get further. But now test 10 of t0001.sh fails because test_cmp can
not be found.
Is that a GNU tool? (I didn't see it in git or coreutils.)
(I'll go searching for it...)
Thank you,
Perry
