Details

Description: The PKGBUILD for [glibc] (downloaded through ABS) is missing the makedepend [check], causing a clean compile to crash. I haven't poked around in the i686 version, so no idea if the problem exists there as well. After installing [check], compile goes through properly.


Additional info:
* package version - 2.17-3


Steps to reproduce:
1) Don't have [check]
2) Download PKGBUILD with ABS
3) Try to compile with makepkg
4) ??????
5) Profit!
This task depends upon

Probably has nothing to do with the check package.

I did try building glibc in a chroot and the tst-cputimer1 test seems to be failing; tst-cputimer1.out is attached.

I tried recompiling after uninstalling check, and it seemed to fail when compiling tst-cpuclock2.out. Last few lines attached.

Sadly, I didn't get to test tst-cputimer1.out, but if you'd like, I can try running that after a successful compile.

[check] is the make target "check", which is "make check", run from the PKGBUILD's check() function. I'm not even sure what it is you're installing that's called [check] that would make this pass.

What kernel are you running?

I'm running on 3.7.5-1-ARCH.

The package I'm installing is over here. https://www.archlinux.org/packages/extra/x86_64/check/

Apologies if I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.

Alright, there /is/ something else failing. I guess it was just coincidence that it compiled successfully immediately after installing check. Feel free to mark this closed, and I'll re-open it if I find a consistent pattern worth reporting.

This is nothing to do with needing extra dependencies. The glibc testsuite is known to give spurious false test failures, especially on the timing tests (although, not on my machine!). See the notes for the glibc section in Linux From Scratch. If that is the only point of failure (and it should be with our PKGBUILD...), finish the build with "makepkg -R".
