[07:13] <Squido> How does one pass a variable from the grub
[07:13] <Squido> boot line to a script?

[04:47] <Keybuk> afternoon
[04:47] <_ion> Hi
[05:15] <AlexExtreme> hey
[08:58] <Keybuk> Testing nih_alloc_using()
[08:58] <Keybuk> ...with realloc
[08:58] <Keybuk> ...with failing realloc
[08:58] <Keybuk> BAD: wrong value for ptr, expected 0x401a7d got (nil)
[08:58] <Keybuk>         at tests/test_alloc.c:103 (test_alloc_using).
[08:58] <Keybuk> zsh: abort (core dumped)  ./test_alloc
[08:59] <Keybuk> \o/
[08:59] <Keybuk> much more useful test case output
[09:11] <_ion> Cool.
[09:12] <_ion> And yay for using zsh. ;-)
[09:12] <Keybuk> heh, I've always used zsh
[09:13] <_ion> There was a long period of time i had to suffer from bash, because zsh didn't support UTF-8.
[09:14] <Keybuk> how often did you need utf-8 on the shell? :)
[09:17] <_ion> Quite rarely, but when you do need it (remember i'm Finnish, non-ASCII letters are used in our language), it's nice if it works. :-)
[09:18] <zod> i wanted to test upstart on archlinux but if i use a different prefix to build the package it fails with the following error
[09:18] <zod> libtool: install: error: cannot install `libupstart.la' to a directory not ending in /usr/lib
[09:18] <Keybuk> zod: how did you compile it?
[09:19] <zod> ./configure --prefix=/opt/upstart --sysconfdir=/etc
[09:19] <zod> and it fails on make install
[09:19] <Keybuk> odd
[09:19] <Keybuk> which version?
[09:20] <zod> 0.3.0
[09:20] <zod> i use "make DESTDIR=$startdir/pkg install" to build a package
[09:21] <Keybuk> startdir?
[09:22] <zod> the directory where the files should go so i can build the package
[09:23] <Keybuk> can you copy everything out of your terminal into npaste?
[09:23] <Keybuk> it worked for me
[09:24] <Keybuk> (ie everything from the configure line through to the failed bit)
[09:27] <zod> http://nopaste.php-q.net/259171
[09:31] <Keybuk> you ran "make" before you ran "configure" ?
[09:31] <zod> ehm nope
[09:32] <Keybuk> there's no "make" output in that paste
[09:33] <zod> oh my fault :(
[09:33] <zod> i used ./configure, ran make, changed ./configure without cleaning up
[09:33] <Keybuk> so you built it with /usr/lib as the prefix :)
[09:33] <Keybuk> which is why it failed
[09:35] <zod> damn stupid ;)

[10:36] <Keybuk> sweet
[10:36] <Keybuk> new test framework makes the test files much smaller
