Summary: 'make check' for expat-2.0.0 fails

Initial Comment:
Hello,

I am trying to build expat-2.0.0 in the framework of
my

http://appsfromscratch.berlios.de/

project and 'make check' fails with this screen
output:

I don't quite get the explanations.

The essence of my tool is that it builds and installs everything in local
directories,
e.g. for 'expat' they are:

/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/expat-2.0.0
/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/install/expat-2.0.0

, so why should 'expat' behave differently than other libs/apps ?

I mean, the whole point of 'make check' is that everything should be
checked in
local directory.

Could you please specifically address the issue of 'lib/expat_external.h'
?

Here are my points:

1) compilation fails because XML_Size is undefined - see the above
"
tests/runtests.c:410: error: 'XML_Size' was not declared in this scope
".

Is this correct - (YES/NO) ?

2) output of "grep '#include '
/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/expat-2.0.0/tests/runtests.c":

"
#include <expat_config.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "expat.h"
#include "chardata.h"
#include "minicheck.h"
#include <proto/expat.h>
";

3) output of "grep -r XML_Size
/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/expat-2.0.0 | grep "\.h" | grep -v
"\.html" | grep typedef":

"
/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/expat-2.0.0/amiga/include/libraries/expat.h:typedef
unsigned long XML_Size;
/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/expat-2.0.0/lib/expat_external.h:typedef
unsigned __int64 XML_Size;
/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/expat-2.0.0/lib/expat_external.h:typedef
unsigned long long XML_Size;
/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/expat-2.0.0/lib/expat_external.h:typedef
unsigned long XML_Size;
"

- of the above the file of potential interest for me is

/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/expat-2.0.0/lib/expat_external.h

- because the other one,

/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/expat-2.0.0/amiga/include/libraries/expat.h

appears to be amiga-specific - not my case.

So, I draw the conclusion that 'lib/expat_external.h' the file of
interest.

Is this correct (YES/NO) ?

4) if '3)' is correct, then 'tests/runtests.c' cannot be compiled by
definition -
its list of include files (see '2)', here is is again):

"
#include <expat_config.h>
#include <assert.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include "expat.h"
#include "chardata.h"
#include "minicheck.h"
#include <proto/expat.h>
"

, and there is no 'lib/expat_external.h' in the above list.

Is there an error in the chain of reasoning I gave ? If yes, where is it
?

To be more precise - make check is probably picking up the wrong
header files, that is the installed ones instead of the new ones.
You could fake it by copying the new header files over the installed
ones.

Well, it seems to me that make check is picking up the installed version
of Expat,
which in your case is probably the one coming with your Linux
installation.

If you know how to write Make files, maybe you have a look and tell me how
to fix this.
I am the Windows guy around here, and the Linux guys are all asleep.

"Well, have you tried it with make install first?" - No, I haven't.

The point of my tool is that it runs commands for me.

I can change order of make targets, i.e. I can make it

make
make install
make check

, but at the moment I'm in the middle of long build, so I'd prefer not to
interfere with the process.

Quick 'grep -r' shows:

/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/expat-2.0.0/lib/expat_external.h:typedef
unsigned __int64 XML_Size;
/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/expat-2.0.0/lib/expat_external.h:typedef
unsigned long long XML_Size;
/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/expat-2.0.0/lib/expat_external.h:typedef
unsigned long XML_Size;

, i.e. apparently 'tests/runtests.c' whose compilation fails apparently
needs'lib/expat_external.h'
to be included in order to make XML_Size defined/declared.

Regarding "What happens if you run make install first?" - I assumed
standard

./configure
make
make check
make install

sequence, i.e. I didn't run 'make install' before 'make check'.

Shouldn't stuff be installed only after it is checked ?
