test_os.lua:68: expected true but was false

[realroot2185]

What seems to be the problem? One test fails:

[  PASSED  ] 2331 tests.
[  FAILED  ] 1 tests, listed below:
[  FAILED  ] base_os.findlib_FindSystemLib
/path/premake-core-5.0.0-beta7/tests/base/test_os.lua:68: expected true but was false

How can we reproduce this? Build premake package. OS: Alpine Linux v3.22 x86_64

What version of Premake are you using? I tried to package 5.0.0-beta7.

[Jarod42]

Is libm installed?

[realroot2185]

What package is that? Do you have a link? libstdc++ and libstdc++-dev are installed.

[Jarod42]

The test checks for presence of libm, I don't know in which package it is.

[nickclark2016]

If you're on Alpine, try installing this: https://pkgs.alpinelinux.org/package/edge/community/x86/openlibm-dev

I know Alpine is a bit different than other Linux distros, where MUSL is the default lib rather than glibc. Not sure if that makes a difference here.

[realroot2185]

Same error as before.

[nickclark2016]

Could you provide the path of libm on your system?

[realroot2185]

I am not sure if you mean this:

[nickclark2016]

I just learned that musl C "includes" the libm functionality by default, so there's no need for libm. We may need to check for something else on Linux than libm so the tests pass on that distro. Appears to be a bug in the test, but likely not a bug in the underlying implementation.

[realroot2185]

I removed check() and I added subpackages="$pkgname-doc" and now it builds, thanks.

On my AArch64 system (running Fedora Linux 43) it fails same way.

libm is in /usr/lib64/ directory:

/usr/lib64/libm.so /usr/lib64/libm.so.6

[samsinsane]

We may need to check for something else on Linux than libm so the tests pass on that distro.

We can probably check for libuuid since Premake requires it on Linux now?
