Unable to build pkg of the package gsl

I tried to build the package 'gsl' from source, however, I kept getting this error:

I have no idea why this happens... Can someone help me, please? Thanks!

Re: Unable to build pkg of the package gsl

Are you using ABS?

Please edit your post.

like this

It makes the code more readable and - in case of longer listings - more convenient to scroll through.

Re: Unable to build pkg of the package gsl

Does it work with makepkg --nocheck?

Yes it works with --nocheck. However, it doesn't really make me confortable to build it this way....

You should ask upstream if these tests are about to fail.

Re: Unable to build pkg of the package gsl

I tried to run the tests from vanilla gsl source archive and it can pass the test. So I guess there's something else wrong....

Re: Unable to build pkg of the package gsl

Here is what I found with the original gsl source archive (not using PKGBUILD):

If I run `CFLAGS=-O2 -march=x86-64` or `CFLAGS=-march=haswell` (or ivybridge, sandybridge, core2), all tests can pass.

However, if I run `CFLAGS=-O2 -march=[any of core2 sandybridge ivybridge haswell]`, the tests failed.

Re: Unable to build pkg of the package gsl

same errors on my system

I build with MAKEFLAGS ="-j9" in /etc/makepkg.conf .

[Bug-gsl] [bug #42960] GSL testsuite fails when GNU make called with -jX where X > 1

might be related, thread starts here : http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-g … 00001.html

Looks like that issue has been solved in GSL git .
