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

Hi,

I'm trying to compile and install GNU Shepherd, as I'd like to try it out; however, when I run 'make check' as root, it reboots my machine within a few seconds (which isn't very helpful!). If I try 'make check' without root privileges, some other errors get thrown up.

I'm trying to compile on a very minimal 'Linux From Scratch' system on an x86_64 Apple Macbook (Core 2 Duo). I installed Guile beforehand, and that seemed to test ok. Basically, I want to try out Shepherd instead of the SysVinit that they recommend in LFS.

I'd like to try out Shepherd, but I'd be a bit reluctant to if I can't check the compiled files first.

Would be v grateful for any assistance.

Thanks!

Lee

Hi Ricardo,

Thanks for your reply. I'm at work right now, but I'll try it again this evening and paste exactly what it says.

Regards,

Lee

Hi Ricardo,

I figured out why I was getting those errors - I hadn't given ownership
of the source folder to the non-privileged user I was using. I gave the
folder ownership to that user and re-ran the tests and they ran ok
(sorry, my bad).

Although, tests/respawn.sh failed (the only one out of 8). I don't know
how critical that test is, but I will attach the test-suite.log file, in
case that might be of interest.

Many thanks,

Lee

P.S. I may have sent this e-mail more than once, as I've had some issues with my e-mail - if so, I apologize.

This test is known to be unreliable currently:
<https://bugs.gnu.org/23811>.

It’s OK though that’s obviously something we’ll fix.

Thanks for your report,
Ludo’.
