Therefore the default is to build Perl statically. +Running the test suite in SunOS 4.1 is a bit tricky since the +F<lib/Tie/File/t/09_gen_rs> test hangs (subtest #51, FWIW) for some +unknown reason. Just stop the test and kill that particular Perl +process. + +There are various other failures, that as of SunOS 4.1.4 and gcc 3.2.2 +look a lot like gcc bugs. Many of the failures happen in the Encode +tests, where for example when the test expects "0" you get "0" +which should after a little squinting look very odd indeed. +Another example is earlier in F<t/run/fresh_perl> where chr(0xff) is +expected but the test fails because the result is chr(0xff). Exactly. +This is the "make test" result from the said combination: + + Failed 27 test scripts out of 745, 96.38% okay. + =head1 AUTHOR The original was written by Andy Dougherty F<doughera@lafayette.edu> |
