Hello list,
Now I know the right way to run tar test with:
./configure -> make -> make check
There is a question, what if I am running cross compile with some SDKs sourced.
I have faced a lot of errors, because I am no expert in autotools.
Examples as follows:
1, I sourced the cross compile SDK, my build platform is ubuntu 20.04, 64bits intel PC.
2, I ran the command "./configure --host=aarch64-agl-linux", it worked
3,I ran the command "make", it worked
4, I ran the command "make check", all I knew that it compiled something, then it ran the test, but result is not reliable. (barely 'ok').
5, I copied the entire /tests folder to the raspberrypi4 which was running other linux distributions, and I ran the script which is named 'testsuite', the test result was not reliable. (I know it is not the right way to run test, for I have to run tests by makefile.) Latter on, I decided to copy the entire tar-1.34 file to the board, I tried to run the command "make check", but it seems it is not the right way to run test either. (it found path for build-aux by the path on PC, not on the board, I guess it was because of the ./configure command.)
I just want to cross compile those necessary components for running tar test.
What should I do?
Thanks for any help,
Yan
