Hello

I was building sed from scratch. While running the tests I had this single
failure for testsuite/inplace-selinux.sh
It looks like following was the reason for error.
inplace-selinux.sh: set-up failure: CONFIG_HEADER not defined

Do let me know if you need any more information.

Regards

Thanks for the report.

Yes - more information is needed.

This error comes from 'init.cfg' in the 'require_selinux_' function.
It happens when the system supports SELinux (based on
/proc/filesystems), but during the './configure' step, somehow
the generated Makefile did not contain a 'CONFIG_HEADER = config.h'
statement (very strange).

Could you provide the exact commands you've used to build 'sed' ?
Also, are you building sed from latest 'git' repository or from
a released tarball ?

And, if possible, please attach the following files (but compress them
before attaching them):
  config.log
  config.status
  config.h
  Makefile


regards,
  - assaf

I ran into this bug when building Sed via GNU Guix running on top of
Fedora 31.  This means I was building Sed version 4.7 from the release
tarball.

The generated Makefile did set “CONFIG_HEADER”.  However, I noticed that
“CONFIG_HEADER” was absent from the list of variables propagated into
the test environment (see the “TEST_ENVIRONMENT” variable in
“testsuite/local.mk”).  Adding it there allowed the test to be skipped
rather than causing a hard error.

Hope that helps!  Let me know if you need more information or anything,
as I should be able to reproduce this error easily.

Me, too!  I reported it here:

Yes, this fixes the issue for me, too.  I have attached a patch.

Assaf, how does this look?

I just ran into the same issue when building with Guix.

This bug is still there after two years...

Is it possible to fix it in the next sed release?

Yikes. That patch was from May of 2020, and looks fine.
I've just pushed it. Sorry for the delay.
