Problem with regression testing

[jpka]

Hi! I also need regression testing. Sadly, while try to install wine into my Ubuntu 10.10, for some old versions of Wine like wine-1.0, i get errors like

Code: Select all

/usr/bin/install -c  -m 644  `basename __install__/avifile.dll16` /usr/local/lib/wine/`basename __install__/avifile.dll16`
/usr/bin/install: omitting directory `avifile.dll16'
make[1]: *** [__install__/avifile.dll16] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/test/wine-git/dlls'
make: *** [dlls/__install-lib__] Error 2

There are many talks about this error on internet (not only for Wine installer) but no any solution suggested... Maybe it's due to changes in newer /usr/bin/install itself, i don't know. Please help me. But please not suggest 'not install wine but run it locally', it's not work: wine-1.0 taken from Ubuntu repos, and wine-1.0 compiled myself and run from home folder, gives different results.
Thanks!

I continue my research and find two strange solutions for this error...
1) Modify /usr/bin/install
I get coreutils source code, then modify this

Code: Select all

install.c line 288 
  x->recursive = true;

I don't know what is does as i don't know C, but i find it myself and when i compile and replace /usr/bin/install, wine's sudo make install become works normally. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK and revert your changes as soon as possible.
2) Suddenly I reboot under previous old linux kernel (2.6.35-24-generic) and this error is magically disappears! I now able to install any version which compiles on my system. I have absolutely no idea why kernel changes make difference, but i reproduce this on two machines.

Later I also suddenly find (via random internet searching) reply on my post in another place: http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.e ... user/74592

But fortunately, when i now able install wine, instead of run it from local folder, i get same results for at least wine-1.0 taken from Ubuntu repos, and wine-1.0 compiled and installed myself, so i can continue my regression tests.

P.S. Some more things to compile old wines...

You should not install Wine when doing regression testing.

But please not suggest 'not install wine but run it locally', it's not work: wine-1.0 taken from Ubuntu repos, and wine-1.0 compiled myself and run from home folder, gives different results.

If the problem disappears in plain Wine, then it's a packaging issue, not a Wine bug. Report that to your distro.

Your problem is also unrelated to the original subject of this thread. In the future, please start new threads for new problems instead of hijacking old ones.

@jpka

I am sure your 'new thread' is very interesting... but you seem to have hijacked Mildred's thread! Very, very bad netiquite...

As dimesio already said, DO NOT hijack threads, or your post will simple be removed.

The reason for reply here is same error in my and other people experience (about 'avifile.dll'-like folders and install errors) and i find this by searching, i hope using search is good idea. sorry if not

No, it's not the same error, and your problem has nothing to do with an original post. That's why it's hijacking.
