mympd build failure with coreutils-9.8

mympd build failure with coreutils-9.8

[Adolf Belka]

Hi All,

For information. mympd fails to build when the latest version of coreutils (9.8) is used.

Looking at the failure message that occurs

-----------------------------------------

I found that the "Combining and compressing javascript comment is in the build.sh file in the top level of the mympd tarball.

In build.sh there is a section

-----------------------------------------
   echo "Combining and compressing javascript"
   echo "//${COPYRIGHT}" > "$MYMPD_BUILDDIR/htdocs/js/copyright.min.js"
   if [ "$MYMPD_MINIFY_JS" = "0" ]
   then
     JSFILES="dist/bootstrap-native/bootstrap-native.js dist/long-press-event/long-press-event.js"
   else
     JSFILES="dist/bootstrap-native/bootstrap-native.min.js dist/long-press-event/long-press-event.min.js"
   fi
   JSFILES="$JSFILES $MYMPD_BUILDDIR/htdocs/js/*.min.js"
   for F in $JSFILES
   do
     if tail -1 "$F" | perl -npe 'exit 1 if m/\n/; exit 0'
     then
       echo_error "$F don't end with newline character"
       exit 1
     fi
   done
-----------------------------------------

and this has the error message that is shown. The file mentioned just has a single line of the js code.

This section uses the tail command and that command is one that has had 25 commits applied to it in coreutils-9.8

I am not sure if this error is due to a problem in mympd or if there are errors in mympd which are now being flagged up by the updated coreutils.

I have not been able to find any mention of this issue currently.

I also tested it with the latest version of mympd (22.1.0) but that also ended up with the same error message.

Regards,

Adolf.

Hello Adolf,

Interesting question. I would assume that coreutils has a very extensive test suite that will catch any unintended changes in behaviour of any of the tools. I would also rule out that this is an intentional change. That might break a lot of stuff elsewhere.

I don’t quite understand why myMPD needs this trailing newline, but I would suggest to report upstream and see what they say about it.

Best,
-Michael

Thanks for the suggestion. I did that and the developer there said he didn't understand why changes in coreutils would have caused the command used to respond differently.
However he also said that he thought the command could be constructed in a better way, which he did and I tested the patch and it worked. So a patch set for coreutils and mympd will be coming along.

Regards,

Adolf.
