Almost all tests fail for me.

[Xi Ruoyao]

It looks like most tests now unconditionally require valgrind.

[Xi Ruoyao]

To run the tests w/o valgrind:

cat > tests/valgrind.sh << "EOF"
#!/bin/sh
shift
exec "$@" > stdout 2> stderr
EOF

[Bruce Dubbs]

I was just looking at that. Should we add that to LFS or just say that the tests require valgrind? I lean toward the 2nd option.

[Xi Ruoyao]

Both are fine to me.

I built kbd on a full system and got:

## ------------- ##
## Test results. ##

ERROR: 47 tests were run,
5 failed unexpectedly.
4 tests were skipped.

Please send 'tests/testsuite.log' and all information you think might help:

   To: <gladkov.alexey@gmail.com>
   Subject: [kbd 2.8.0] testsuite: 2 3 4 5 8 failed

Looking at tests/testsuite.log:

 NUM: FILE-NAME:LINE     TEST-GROUP-NAME
      KEYWORDS

   2: utils.at:12        loadkeys default keymap
      utils unittest

   8: libcommon.at:19    test get console

It looks like some test files are missing, but I'm not sure.

I was testing over ssh when I got the above errors, so I copied the files to my workstation and got the same errors in a gui. However switching to a non-gui virtual terminal, no tests failed, but the 4 skipped tests were still there.

I will put this info in LFS with the recommendation that the tests not be run in the chroot environment.

In a graphical terminal those tests seem requiring a root privilege, but in the Linux console they do not. I've no idea why.

Fixed in trunk from the gcc15 branch.
