[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Hi,

The update for coreutils doesn't seem to want to compile.  It appears to be
failing one of the tests that it runs.  I've copied some of the print out
below.

Thanks,
Tonia Venters

Before reporting any errors, please run "fink selfupdate" and
try again.  If you continue to have issues, please check to see if the
FAQ on fink's website solves the problem.  If not, ask on the fink-users
or fink-beginners mailing lists, with a carbon copy to the maintainer:

None <fink-devel <at> lists.sourceforge.net>

Note that this is preferable to emailing the maintainer directly, since
most fink package maintainers do not have access to all possible
hardware and software configurations.

Thanks for the report.

First, coreutils _did_ compile, it's just the test that failed.  You can
probably install it anyways.

This particular test comes from gnulib, so I've added bug-gnulib in case
someone there has better ideas on how to troubleshoot if it is a
weakness in the test or a bug in fink's implementation of posixtm() that
gnulib should be working around.

There was no explicit mention of the platform, but from the word "fink" I
guess it's MacOS X. The report was then already half analyzed in this
thread:
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2010-04/msg00168.html>

The problem appears to be inside gnulib's __mktime_internal. It is still
present after Paul's recent patches: On MacOS X 10.5, after configuring
with CC="gcc -m64", I get:

  000001010000.00 mismatch (-: actual; +:expected)

  +-62167219200
  000012312359.59 return value mismatch: got 0, expected 1
  FAIL: test-posixtm

Whereas with CC="gcc -m32", I get a different failure:

Incorrect, as far as Fink goes.  We generate binary packages for
installation, and we don't provide for resumption of the package build
process.

One could in principle install the package by hand from the build
directory, or try to perform the steps that Fink does manually, but it's
probably easier just not to force the testsuite.

Builds are on Mac OS X, by the way.

As far as I can tell, the only occurrence of posixtm in Fink is in the
coreutils tarball, and we don't patch lib/posixtm.h or lib/posixtm.c in
the build process, so I don't see how it could be our implementation.

The failure occurs for me when building on OS 10.6.4 (Intel), 64-bit
(I'm not sure what Toni has).  The test passes on 10.5/32-bit and
10.6/32-bit for me with the same package description--32 bit and 64 bit
use identical procedures.

Sorry, I forgot to tell you that my OS is 10.6.6, 64-bit.

Do a selfupdate, and you should get a new revision of the package which
doesn't require the tests.

Those same two tests fail on 64-bit Solaris up through at
least Solaris 10.  It's probably the same think-o inside
localtime.  (Programmers get confused near the year zero,
for some reason.  :-)  It's probably not worth worrying about.

That's a weird one.  What type is time_t on that platform,
exactly?  Signed or unsigned?  32- or 64-bit?

That test is depending on undefined behavior at the C level,
since it assumes signed integer overflow wraps around; it could
be that we're running afoul of that.

With no further follow-ups in 7 years (and Mac OS X 10.6.6 being
quite out-dated), I'm closing this bug.
