Description Menanteau Guy 2014-08-27 12:34:49 UTC 
hdf-4.2.10-4 build failed on ppc64le arch.

http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=2504
http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/kojifiles/work/tasks/7048/2027048/build.log

tests failed:
BIT I/O (bitio)
N-Bit Dataset Interface
VSET InterfaceTest
Multi-File Generic Raster Image Interface

I guess ppc64 little endian is not correctly supported. I am looking where problems are comming from.

some ppc64le netcdf failing tests disabled

I still have test relative netCDF failling.
I patched temporarilly code to have these tests disabled and build finished ok.

I guess there are some changes in netcdf needed to be imported in hdf but I still not yet see what is wrong. Any clue ? 

In the meantime, it would be good to have these netcdf tests disabled for ppc64le arch to have build ok.

I've checked in the initial patch.  I've also contacted the hdf group to see if they have any insight on the failing tests.
Comment 7 Orion Poplawski 2014-09-05 01:38:45 UTC 
We really don't see how these errors are happening - they seem completely unrelated to bootstrapping a new arch.  I'm afraid that someone with access to the hardware will need to poke around.
Comment 8 Menanteau Guy 2014-09-05 10:07:50 UTC 
ok, will look deeper on these errors.

Orion, could I suggest a temporary patch of spec file as extracted below to ignore the make check failure for ppc64le archi. This would allow to complete the koji build for this archi and this package and so continue the build for other packages that depend on it.

second part of ppc64le patch

Hi Orion,
I found a code correction to allow the two tests still failling 
to pass now on ppc64le arch.
It was related on ppc64le arch and the way getlong woeks to
look into netcdf files.

here after is the scratch build with tests enabled
http://ppc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/taskinfo?taskID=2094687

Please, have a look to the patch and deliver us a new hdf version
with changes asked by Michel removed,.
Sorry for this noise, he should not know I was working on it.
thanks
