gEDA-dev: Strange failing of tests in gsymcheck

[Peter Clifton]

Hi all,

This is very odd. I'm finding make check fails in gsymcheck

Look at these two commands:


pcjc2 at pcjc2lap:~/gedasrc/git/gsymcheck/tests$ ../src/gsymcheck -vv correct.sym  
gEDA/gsymcheck version 1.1.1.20070708

The first (as I intuitively typed) outputs text which matches the
expected test output.

The second (as the test uses) for some reason does not - even though it
prints out the same canonical file name!

Any ideas - I'm baffled!
