- Subject: Doc patch testing procedure
I am terribly embarrassed that my first major checkin broke bootstrap. In
particular, since I tried to follow the testing procedures, but
something's weird with them:
If I just do something like
> mkdir bin
> cd bin
> ../gcc-3.4-CVS/configure
> make info
> make dvi
it succeeds even with the broken files I checked in. I didn't notice that
it doesn't create .info files, though, so thought everything is ok.
I later tried to trigger the error everybody was seeing, and I can do that
if I add a "make bootstrap" before the "make info". In that case, .info
files are actually generated, and I hit the same problem. Now, the testing
instructions specifically say that no bootstrap is required for doc
patches...
So the question is: is this supposed to be the way it is? If this is the
case, then we'd need to update our testing requirement page.
Sorry again for the inconveniences,
Wolfgang
