Bug #60857 for Test-Smoke: Ignores CC and CFLAGS

Sun Aug 29 12:03:34 2010 njh [...] bandsman.co.uk - Ticket created

Subject:

Ignores CC and CFLAGS

You can't use Test::Smoke to test whether Perl builds with a different compiler, because Test::Smoke ignores the values of CC and CFLAGS in your environment.

Two options here: 1) use the -Dcc= and -Dccflags= options for configure Put these options on a single line in the first section of the build configurations file (perlcurrent.cfg); or (preferred) create a new configuration with its own build configurations file that has these options in a single section. 2) Create a new configuration, edit the .sh file and add the environment variables as needed.

I tried option 1 - thanks for the suggestion. However when I tried to test I got this: "Skipping this smoke, patchlevel (7d6ecb1f6c7eabec011b66526161fcf678919c99) did not change." Which is not that helpful since I am trying with a different compiler, so the test done with a different compiler is of no relevance. Do you think that the test result should include more than just the Perl version? Would it not help me to at least include the compiler version with the results?

If you run the smokes one after the other, you can set the second configuration to not do smartsmoke (just edit the _config file). PS: These are not really bugs, please just send me e-mail with questions. Good luck, -- Abe.

I tried this, but it still doesn't work. As a test I created a new cfg file which has only one section: -Duseithreads -Dccflags="-Wall -O2 -pipe" But the logfile says: CCCMD = cc -DPERL_CORE -c -DDEBUGGING -fno-strict-aliasing -pipe -I/usr/local/include -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64 -std=c89 -O2 -Wall -ansi -pedantic -W -Wextra -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -Wc++-compat -DPERL_GCC_PEDANTIC Show quoted text

Unfortunately you forgot to mention what your email is, so I've had to continue to use "reply". Show quoted text

Ah, it has to be in it's own section: # Begin of .cfg # Single line with all compiler flags -Dccflags='-Wall -O2 -pipe' = -Dusethreads = # Debug section Build configurations are composed by combining all lines from all sections, in the above example: -Dccflags='-Wall -O2 -pipe' -Dccflags='-Wall -O2 -pipe' -Dusethreads checkout the chkbcfg.pl <your.cfg> it'll tell you what configs will be smoked.

As for all CPAN authors: <cpanid>@cpan.org => abeltje@cpan.org Also to be found in the Test::Smoke docs. Thank you for your interest in Test::Smoke + Good luck, Abe. -- _ | "Are you pondering what I'm pondering?"

Fixed by using -Accflags instead of -Dccflags. There seems to be no means to close this bug!!! However it is now resolved.
