preparing a new release (part 2)

[Brian Gough]

I've made second version to fix some of the errors reported (memory leak in
tests and jacobi svd) You can test it here:

Hello,

'./configure && make && make check' works on AMD64 with gcc 3.3.3.
On dual alpha with gcc 2.96 it works with CFLAGS=-O1.

No change to the previous release here.


Regards,

Kevin

make and make check worked (again) on RHEL 3
and i noticed that the documentation errors
have been fixed, and that binomial has been
updated.  thanks (again!) for all your efforts.

succesful build and check on a Fedora Core 4 system:
gcc version 4.0.1 20050727 (Red Hat 4.0.1-5)
glibc-2.3.5

Checked with CFLAGS=-O2 and CFLAGS=-O3. No problems.

Jonathan.

Builds OK for DJGPP (v2.04 beta, 2,03 not tested, gcc-4.0.1, WinXP Pro+SP2).
Also all tests passes if the following small EXEEXT related patch is applied 
(it was for 1.6, but it  applies also to 1.6.92):

This is a really bad name for a unix prgram. For, on my machine

  which test 

returns

  /usr/bin/test

-------------
I once had a second line manager who wanted to show off his programming
abilities. He wrote a demo program, and he went to show it off. And,
in front of 50 people, it didn't work. We all craned over the monitor
trying to figure out what was wrong (for it looked spotless).  Until
some wizened soul in the back of the crowd cleared his throat and 
asked: "What did you NAME your program?" "I named it 'test'. Why
do you want to know?"

$ ./test

How else would you run a program called "test" in the current directory?

It appears to pass configure; make; make check on 
Novel SuSE Enterpirse Linux SLES9 on a Power5 box.

This is a *very bad idea*. It leaves you open to typo trojans: say you're
in the /tmp directory on a multi-user box. You accidently type "sl"
instead of "ls". You now run /tmp/sl, which could have been installed by
anybody. You lose. "." should *never* appear on your $PATH.

I would not disagree too loudly on aesthetic grounds, but automake is
smart enough to preface the check_PROGRAMS with a ./ (or at least
enough of the directory tree) so there is no real problem in calling
it test, true or even false (if you wanted to be _really_ nasty to the
next generation of developers).

All in all the naming is not really a worry.  I'm surprised about the
ordering of TESTS and check_PROGRAMS though...



Cheers,

S.

Thanks, I will fix that.

gsl-1.6.92.tar.gz passed all tests on AMD64 with gcc-4.0.1.

PS: perhaps the grammar in "All 1 tests passed" could be improved.

Re: preparing a new release (part 2)

[Jeff Spirko]

GSL 1.6.92 passes all tests on IA-64 with gcc-3.3.3
under SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9.

Thanks for the testing -- gsl-1.7 is now released.

One for the Automake maintainers I think -- I've cc'ed this to
bug-automake@gnu.org.

The "make check" messages are from automake (maybe "All tests passed
(1/1)" would do the job).
