Re: [Blitz-support] distcheck fails

[Patrick G. <pa...@mn...>]

Hei Patrick,

According to the doc, it make a dist then proceeds to untar the new
archive into a fresh directory, build it in a fresh build directory
separate from the source directory, install it into a third fresh
directory, and finally run make check in the build tree.
It says further "While not a complete test -- it only tries one
architecture, after all -- distcheck nevertheless catches most packaging
errors (as opposed to portability bugs), and its use is highly recommended."

It seems to work when make lib is ran before but another error occur
later when creating the stencil doc. There seems to be a problem when
compiling dump-stencil.cpp where the identifier central12 is undefined.
Any idea?

Cheers,
Patrick
