bug#11897: automake 1.12.2 test failure on Mac OS X 10.7 |

Hi there,
here is another test failure I am seeing on Mac OS X 10.7.4 with automake
1.12.2. Specifically, two tap test fail with errors. So when I execute
make check TESTS="t/suffix8.tap t/suffix10.tap"
then I get this (after removing some fluff):
PASS: t/suffix8.tap 1 - libtoolize
PASS: t/suffix8.tap 2 - aclocal
PASS: t/suffix8.tap 3 - autoconf
PASS: t/suffix8.tap 4 - automake
PASS: t/suffix8.tap 5
ERROR: t/suffix8.tap 5 - configure # OUT-OF-ORDER (expecting 6)

PASS: t/suffix10.tap 1 - libtoolize
PASS: t/suffix10.tap 2 - aclocal
PASS: t/suffix10.tap 3 - autoconf
PASS: t/suffix10.tap 4 - automake

ERROR: t/suffix10.tap - too many tests run (expected 7, got 8)
I think the problem is caused by the "configure" script spitting out these
messages:
checking for archiver @FILE support... rm: cannot remove `conftest.dSYM': Is a
directory
no
checking for strip... strip
checking for ranlib... ranlib
checking command to parse /usr/bin/nm output from cc object... rm: cannot
remove `conftest.dSYM': Is a directory
ok
Note the isolated "ok" on a line of its own; apparently this makes the test
think that an unplanned test step occurred.
This in turn is caused by a "bug" in libtool -- or rather, there is a peculiar
behavior of the Mac OS X compilers (namely to create conftest.dSYM directories
under certain circumstances), and libtool hence needs to replace "rm -f
conftest*" by "rm -rf conftest*". This was done some years ago, but apparently
was forgotten in three cases.
I already reported this to libtool:
<http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=11895>
But since it directly affects the test suite of automake, I thought it best to
report this here, too. Perhaps you would like to workaround it by making the
test a bit more strict about how it detects a completed test step?
Cheers,
Max
