`make test qtest` will fail on Mac OS X 10.6.6

[ymotongpoo]

I tried to build OCaml batteries included on Mac OS X 10.6.6 with OCaml 3.11.2 and BATTERIES_NATIVE_SHLIB=false option. It worked for make all and make install but make test qtest will fail with any options.

Dependent libraries versions are as follows:

• findlib : 1.2.6
• OUnit : 1.1.0
• camomile : 0.8.1
• make : 3.81
• gcc : 4.2.1 Apple-Darwin

I tried same on Debian 6.0.0 environment with same libraries and it succeeded there.

I've looked at the makefile and can't find the problem. Could you try building the latest Git sources? The makefile has undergone some refactoring since 1.3.0, and it'd be good to know if the problem has been fixed in those changes.

Latest one did not worked neither. Here's the compile log:

very interesting... - Building libs/estring/-n.cmo -- your echo command doesn't take -n as a parameter, so you have "-n" as a dependency of the tests. Does changing line 159 of the Makefile (in the test_mods.mllib target)to /bin/echo -n "Quickcheck Tests " > $@ fix the problem?

It worked!! Thank you for your quick reply! For reference, here's my zsh's version: % zsh --version zsh 4.3.11 (i386-apple-darwin10.6.0)

Fixed wrong and then hopefully fixed right in commit da601823

[ymotongpoo]

I confirmed the commit works. Thanks a lot!!

Thanks for reporting the bug, keep letting us know anything that goes wrong on OSX - AFAIK, none of us test on OSX, so your bug reports are extra important.
