From: asami@cs.berkeley.edu (Satoshi Asami | =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCQHUbKEI=?= =?ISO-2022-JP?B?GyRCOCsbKEIgGyRCOC0bKEI=?=) Sender: ports-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk * When I run 'make test' after making the Tcl port, I get a number of * messages from the kernel about processes exiting with masked floating * point exceptions. Could someone please explain the meaning and * significance of these messages. I don't know how you can do a "make test", as there is no "test" target in the Makefile. If you mean you went into work/tcl7.3 (or something like that) and did a "make test" and got FP errors, that sounds like a serious problem. Please send a detailed report (output of "make test", "dmesg" or anything we can use to identify the problem). To ports people: by the way, someone want to maintain tcl? It's way too important to leave it MAINTAINER-less, with me answering questions with shots in the dark like this. ;) Satoshi
