Feedback on lsb fhs test suite



Hi,

I've been trying out the lsb fhs test suite on a few different distros
(Debian (woody), Redhat 6.0 & Redhat 6.1) and ran into a few issues
along the way and was wondering if other people had the same problems
or if I was doing something differently.

In all the tests I used the 3.3f version of tet.

Release (fhs-1.0)
-----------------

On the debian install when doing the `config.sh' step it detects
/usr/bin/c89 as the compiler to use by default. This causes some
compile problems in the later make stage. Setting it to use
/usr/bin/cc instead makes it work.

Development (fhs-1.02)
----------------------

Some of the install doco (INSTALL.LSB-FHS) needs updating:
- profile in the tgz file has been renamed to lsb.profile
- The TET_EXECUTE path in the lsb.profile file is out of sync with
  the instructions and should be set to:
  TET_EXECUTE=$TET_ROOT/vsx4/TESTROOT

On all the distros I tried, I got a compile error when doing the `su
root -c make' step and had to fiddle a bit with nonposix.c to get the
prototypes consistent with header files which it includes.

On the debian distro I had trouble compiling c-parse.y. Andrew Josey
pointed out that debian links yacc to bison. Compiling up byacc.1.9
and getting it to use that instead fixed the problem.

Chris.
