[Clfs-support] (x86_64 Multilib) 18 errors when checking Automake

[Jonathan Zeke]

I just went ahead and installed it and moved on. Last night I booted into the system for the first time. I have a couple bugs to iron out, but everything seems to be working ok. We'll see how things go when I star installing stuff from CBLFS.

Hello Jonathan,

Look at what LFS does with automake. I haven't looked at their testsuite
logs to see how many errors they get.

Automake edits:
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/development/chapter06/automake.html

Build logs: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/build-logs/development/

Many times you won't get perfect test suite results, but can usually find
a reason as to why certain tests fail and determine if it is critical or
not.

Sincerely,

William Harrington
