Re: Install Make Test Issue

[Lauri Bettencourt <lbetten@ziplink.net>]

Hello:

I have /usr/bin/ln & /usr/xpg4/bin/ln which are part of the Solaris 8 
install. I modified the Makefile in /openldap-2.0.23/tests to call 
/usr/xpg4/bin/ln and I got the same results during the make test.

It appears to me that there is a loop created by the Makefile in 
/openldap-2.0.23/tests which causes the issue.

from Makefile in /openldap-2.0.23/tests:

srcdir = .

@-$(LN_S) $(srcdir)/data .

It looks to me like this is causing a loop which ends in the MAXSYMLINKS 
error from the OS. If the source directory is the current directory and we 
create the link to be in the current directory....

Maybe I am missing something???

Thanks,

Lauri-
