[zeromq-dev] Mountain Lion build issues: strndup error, and 'make check' gave "1 of 20 tests failed" on test_shutdown_stress

[Peter Jurgensen]

Hi,

This is my first exercise with 0MQ.  I've read the guide, and watched a bunch of video lectures/interviews on 0MQ.  I didn't expect these bugs.

I downloaded 3.2.3.  This is on a new clean install on Mountain Lion.  After a ./configure, then make it produced:

test_disconnect_inproc.cpp: In function ‘int main(int, char**)’:
test_disconnect_inproc.cpp:48: error: ‘strndup’ was not declared in this scope
test_disconnect_inproc.cpp:52: error: ‘strndup’ was not declared in this scope
test_disconnect_inproc.cpp:72: error: ‘strndup’ was not declared in this scope
make[1]: *** [test_disconnect_inproc.o] Error 1
make: *** [all-recursive] Error 1

It looked like debugging code, so I commented it out, then it built and I installed it with sudo make install.

I then did make check.   (Yea, I should have done the make check before the make install.)

Mountain Lion 'make check' gave "1 of 20 tests failed".

arch:~/Downloads/zeromq-3.2.3$ make check

============================================
1 of 20 tests failed
Please report to zeromq-dev at lists.zeromq.org
============================================
make[2]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1
make[1]: *** [check-am] Error 2
make: *** [check-recursive] Error 1

I read the README and the INSTALL files.  I searched the jira bugs.  No joy.
