When I run a make check the strfunc-test fails. http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=106091 Not really a cause for concern. > Original post: > * From: Ben Taylor <highlander7 cox net> > * To: gtk-list gnome org > * Subject: glib error in solaris 9 > * Date: Tue, 18 Feb 2003 09:46:01 -0500 > > > I'm in the process of testing Gnome 2.2 on Solaris 8 and 9 (X86) and > I've run into a problem. > > I've run a make check on both OS's, and i'm getting different results: > > Solaris 8/X86 (gcc-3.2.1, sun ld and as) - 1 test failure: > > (strfunc-test.c:449) failed for: 3 == g_snprintf (buf, 0, "%s", "abc") > (strfunc-test.c:450) failed for: 3 == g_snprintf (NULL,0, "%s", "abc") > FAIL: strfunc-test > PASS: string-test > > However, I'm getting 2 test failures on > Solaris 9/X86 (gcc-3.2.1, sun ld and as) > > (strfunc-test.c:449) failed for: 3 == g_snprintf (buf, 0, "%s", "abc") > (strfunc-test.c:450) failed for: 3 == g_snprintf (NULL,0, "%s", "abc") > FAIL: strfunc-test > FAIL: string-test > > I'm not sure what's wrong, as string-test just core's out, and I've got > to build gdb to > debug it, however, using the same code base, I can get Gnome-2.2 to come > up on > Solaris 8, and it crashes out with a glib core (the description from the > core file) > on Solaris 9. Might well be related to the string test failure; but without a debugger backtrace, it's hard to say anything.
