New build failure on darwin/PPC at runtime/parrot/library/YAML/Tiny.pir

[jkeenan]

This failure of master to build on Darwin/PPC has emerged in the last 24 hours. On this platform, Parrot built and PASSed make test as recently as 04f0b74 on May 05, and yesterday it built and PASSed all tests at fc6299d except for one that had been deliberately broken.

Here is the tail of the build log. The complete build log is attached.

build failure

Hello.

Can you retest it on master ef5ece1765? I hope I nailed it down.

Hello. Can you retest it on master ef5ece1765? I hope I nailed it down.

make just completed successfully at commit a5aa34070f85d4c648ceef6e2661f503d89ba8d6 on darwin/ppc with --cc=gcc --link=g++ --ld=g++. I will follow up with results of make test later (possibly tomorrow night).

Thank you very much.

I had hoped to provide a discussion of the one test failure I observed after a5aa3407. However, when I did a git pull and re-built, I got yet another build failure on this platform. I am opening a new ticket for that.

Thank you very much.

I am going to mark this ticket closed because Parrot master is once again building on Darwin/PPC.

When I run make smolder_test, I encounter problems where a test file will report a "dubious" exit code -- but then that same test file will PASS when run under prove, perl t/harness or even some other (smaller) make testing target. But that's a subject for another Trac ticket.

Thank you very much.
