tests: Fix failures with automake 1.11 (1.07 KB, patch)

Description Torsten Schoenfeld 2013-02-10 19:05:54 UTC 
The warn tests fail for me due to what looks like an automake problem.  The
symptom is this output:

make[1]: Entering directory `/opt/src/gobject-introspection/tests/warn'
/bin/bash: line 9: ./annotationparser.h: Permission denied

tests: Fix failures with automake 1.11

automake 1.11 does not seem to use LOG_COMPILER when invoking tests, so add its
contents to TESTS_ENVIRONMENT instead.

See the originating patch series: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693096

This is basically reverting that, so we're back to working on 1.11 but failing on 1.13?
Comment 4 Torsten Schoenfeld 2013-02-10 20:59:41 UTC 
Yeah, looks like that is the case.  According to <http://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/automake.html#Serial-Test-Harness>, the backwards-compatible but deprecated harness can be "enabled by the Automake option serial-tests."  I have no idea what that means, though.

I'd say just depend on automake >= 1.13, but not even jhbuild can bootstrap that currently.
Comment 5 Martin Pitt 2013-02-14 08:26:27 UTC 
For the record, this reproduces in jhbuild on jenkins, with automake 1.11.6:

Comment 6 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2013-02-14 18:04:22 UTC 
If somebody who knows automake goo better than me can add the serial-tests flag and revert to the old TESTS_ENVIRONMENT stuff, it should fix the issue on both.
