pop3Test doesn't build on linux

marking m5. I've got the changes in my tree, and I'll go get approval.

the fix is checked in. now pop3Test build on linux. the only thing that works right now is the #5 command: 5) Check identity information.

leaf - do you have this added to your scripts to build for the release version?

donm has added the --enable-tests flag to his deliveries; we'll respin today's builds with the tests enabled.

I could not build it on Linux but Seth provided the following instructions: The tree is full of Makefile.in files. When configure is run, it generates the "Makefile" files using the Makefile.in files Why didn't configure generate Makefile for your Makefile.in in mozilla/mailnews/local/tests/pop ? The problem is that the the tests (pop3Test, smtpTest, nntpTest, newsParser test) are not built by default. You need to pass --enable-tests to configure, or add that to your ~/.mozmyconfig.sh file. (If you don't know what that is, let me know.) re-run configure, and it will generate all the Makefile files you need. Now, you'll build all the test Makefile files (from the test Makefile.in files) and you'll be ready to run pop3Test.

Seth said to add this to .mozmyconfig ac_add_options --enable-mailnews ac_add_options --enable-editor ac_add_options --enable-tests ac_add_options --enable-debug It now builds pop3test. However, my tree is two days old and requires the fix from mscott from yesterday in order for pop3test to work. Will rebuild and test. Par

rebuilt Saturday but getting the error: Unable to get event queue Try again ....

Par is still having this problem. Par, perhaps we can verify this fix on Suresh's system?

Any updates Par? If it builds on someone else's system, perhaps we can verify this bug?

Seth said that it currently does not build on Linux (7/1/99). He is working on fixing it and will try to get to it by M8. REOPEN for now Par

Seth I know you have a lot to do for M8 why don't you let me take a look at this?

clearing resolution and the old target milestone of M5.

pop3Test is being built. (look at tinderbox log, search for pop3Test http://cvs-mirror.mozilla.org/webtools/tinderbox/showlog.cgi?log=SeaMonkey/931306249.3909.gz&fulltext=1) marking this fixed. par, is it not being built for you? or is release not giving you pop3Test in their packages to QA?

Par - just verify that poptest works in the Linux release build. Thanks.

pop3test no longer exists in the release build. I don't see it on Windows or Linux. However, it does build on linux which I havve verified. There is a problem running it - it cannot find libmsgbaseutil.so - but that is a different bug than this one. I will investigate that. MARKING AS VERIFIED

don't waste your time investigating this. I think we should take these tests out of the build. the real test now is the application, and we are far enough along to use it to test pop. mscott, what do you think?
