VERBOSE=1 make check; tests/test_util_file.test.c and tests/test_util_file.expected out of sync

1. on cygwin64 on windows 8.1,
   autoredonf --version --> 2.69
   autoconf --version -----> 2.69
   automake --version ---> 1.15
   gcc --version ---> 5.4.0
   libtool --version --->2.4.6

2. many changes to configure.ac and Makefile.am were required for autoreconf -vi and ./configure to complete without errors. Do you want the changes that were needed for autoreconf -vi and ./configure to complete without errors?

And if so, how do you want the changes.

3. 'make check' reported fail in tests/test_util_file.c
   'VERBOSE=1 make check'
   shows that there are no errors in ./tests/testSubDir/test_util_file.test/test_util_file.out It was just that the distributed file, /root/json-c/tests/test_util_file.expected is out of sync.

The following solved this problem
cp ./tests/testSubDir/test_util_file.test/test_util_file.out /root/json-c/tests/test_util_file.expected

4. Now 'make check' executes without errors.

Instead of autoreconf -vi you should run autogen.sh which contains the important argument -Iautoconf-archive/m4.

Copying the actual output to the reference expected output will of course make it match. But will it be correct ... you'll have to look at the actual differences to figure out.

If there are changes beyond simply specifying the -I option, please let us know what they are.

As for test_util_file, what are the differences?

Can't do anything w/o details, closing.
