I've done 35 or so builds of sharutils-4.13.4 today on about 25 flavors of Unix. Most succeeded, and passed all tests, but on a few, I get failures, with core dumps, like this: PASS: uutest-1 FAIL: shar-1 PASS: shar-2 FAIL: shar-3 PASS: shar-4 Changing compilers (different versions of gcc, or clang), and changing optimization levels (w/ and w/o -O2), and changing the environment (normal, or stripped to just PATH and HOME) does not fix the problem. Failing systems include SGI IRIX MIPS, DragonFly BSD x86, Mac OS X x86, MirBSD x86, OpenBSD x86 4.x and 4.x and Solaris x86 10 and 11. On Mac OS X, changing from cc to c99 produces a build that passes all of its tests. On the OpenBSD systems, shar-1 passes, but shar-3 fails. On Solaris x86 11, a build with c99 fails to compile, but with cc, compiles and passes its tests. During the course of this testing, I also discovered that make distclean incorrectly deletes sharutils-4.13.4/doc/uudecode.1. I compared the directory contents after the distclean with a separate unbundled copy of the .tar.gz file, verifying that uudecode.1 is the only such incorrectly-deleted file. The previous release, sharutils-4.13.3, built and passed its tests on most of the systems for which 4.13.4 tests fail. On request, I can provide a sharutils developer with a private copy of the entire set of logs for failing builds. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Nelson H.
