Trying to make fio on redhat 5.9 results in:
lex: unknown flag '-'. For usage, try
lex --help
make: *** [lex.yy.c] Error 1
Changeset "c9fa1c8d (Stephen M. Cameron 2014-10-06 17:58:32 -0500
270)" introduced the lex '--header-file' option, but that option is
not valid on redhat 5.

I think it should work now, for both OSX and Linux without warning, and without needing --header-file.

The only issue is you need a specfile or deb control file appropriate to the distro. ie. typically the opensuse specfile will not work with RedHat and vice versa. Debian and Ubuntu don't use specfiles at all. For release build testing it might be useful to maintain a fio package on OBS that builds for various distros and do a test build prior to each release.

That would be absolutely wonderful. I do some of these manually before release, especially if changes have gone in that could affect build on various distros. But would be great to have it automated. Unfortunately I'm not a rpmfile/deb wizard, and I lack the motivation (and time) to take the time to do this. So if anyone would like to step up and help out with this, that would be awesome. Currently the deb and rpm spec files are not included with fio, but they do exist in the debian (ish) and rpm based packages that people roll for distributions. So hopefully it should not be too much work. It might even be a good idea to include them with fio, especially if we're going to automate some of this building/testing. -- Jens Axboe ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 10+ messages in thread
