Thread: regression test
Hi all, I am trying to run the regression tests under PG 7.2.1 RedHat 7.3- I have installed PG from rpms , so from package, not source code. Right now I have no idea if I need the source code of PG in order to start and compile the regression tests ? It might be nice to have more added information, under Administrator's Guide PG 7.2, about how actually can you get the regression tests running ? <COMMENT HERE> For doc people: Under Chapter 14 "Regression Tests", should be clear defined what do we need in order to run the regression test. that's mandatory.Without that it is confusing. Then as well we can add if the user has a source code base installation do like that ... If the user has a rpm installation do like this .... (addind additional rpm test package, then ... ) What do you think ? <END COMMENT HERE> So it seems I am missing Makefile.global. Where this file comes from ? I might guess I need the hole source code of PG ? bash-2.05a$ gmake installcheck GNUmakefile:16: ../../../src/Makefile.global: No such file or directory gmake: *** No rule to make target `../../../src/Makefile.global'. Stop. Regards, Stefan

Regarding regression tests in my machine.
My box is a linux i386 Pentium III, RedHat 7.3
I was able to run the regression tests. I have got 3 tests failed
during my run. See below.
parallel group (20 tests): comments lseg type_sanity box reltime polygon
tinterval date point time circle path tim
etz abstime interval opr_sanity oidjoins inet timestamp timestamptz
point ... ok
lseg ... ok
box ... ok
path ... ok
polygon ... ok
circle ... ok
date ... ok
time ... ok
timetz ... ok
timestamp ... ok
timestamptz ... ok
interval ... ok
abstime ... FAILED
reltime ... ok
tinterval ... FAILED
inet ... ok
comments ... ok
oidjoins ... ok
type_sanity ... ok
opr_sanity ... ok
test geometry ... ok
test horology ... FAILED
test create_function_1 ... ok
test create_type ... ok
test create_table ... ok
test create_function_2 ... ok
test copy ... ok
Looking and inspecting the regression.diffs I have got lots of things
which I don't understand.
I have attached the regression.diffs . Can I make sure my PG is properly
installed in this way, having 3 steps failed ? Is this something to do
with my Linux OS or PG ?

If you're not using such times you probably won't have to worry about it.
mktime(3) is different in FreeBSD than in RedHat ? Why did they changed it ? Anyway thanks for tip. I wanted to ask what main Operating System the developers are using for coding PG ? >>FreeBSD, RedHat, Solaris ?

Red Hat has just changed it, because the glibc people have just changed it. This is what POSIX hath wrought, supposedly. Anyway, there was a recent big kerfuffle about it on this list and others. See <http://groups.google.com/groups?hl=en&lr=&ie=UTF-8&selm=m34rh68465.fsf%40dep4.fciencias.unam.mx> and the resulting thread for details (sorry about the long line, but the postgres archives haven't been working for me).
