make powerman fail in my Mac about powerman

[garlick]

Hi, it would be useful to know what tests failed. I happen to be using a mac this morning (sierra 10.12.13), with so I tried building powerman-3.2.24

Compiler says:

$ gcc -v
Configured with: --prefix=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 8.0.0 (clang-800.0.42.1)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin16.4.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

test failures were:

PASS: t49
FAIL: t50
PASS: t51
PASS: t52
FAIL: t53
PASS: t54
PASS: t55
FAIL: t56
FAIL: t57
FAIL: t58
FAIL: t59
====================
6 of 60 tests failed
====================

I will need to work through these failures, but so far they all look like fragile tests that break on the Mac not actual powerman problems.

Please do get the latest version and report back if you have any problems with powerman itself and we'll try to work through them. I'll open separate bugs on the test failures that I'm seeing.

Thank you for your information.
Another question, I see there are only one master branch on the repository,
Where could I get the latest version of powerman?

Grab the powerman-version.tar.gz file from releases tab of powerman page.

Sure,I have download the version 2.3.24
However, During the make time, it throws a error:

1 warning generated.
CCLD vpcd
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `all-am'.

BTW:my gcc version is

$ gcc -v
Configured with: --prefix=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 8.1.0 (clang-802.0.42)

If you can get the output where the actual warning is generated, that would be useful.

Your compiler is a bit newer than mine. Do you know how to upgrade the compiler package on the mac?

vpcd is test code, so you might actually have a functional powerman there.

1. If you can get the output where the actual warning is generated, that would be useful.
   Comment：Actually， there are several warnings. I would add it to this comment later

2. Your compiler is a bit newer than mine. Do you know how to upgrade the compiler package on the mac?
   Comment：I am not sure is gcc or not. If is gcc, can ref to this page:

3. vpcd is test code, so you might actually have a functional powerman there.
   Comment: I haven't installed powerman before. After make command, regardless of the warning. If I continue to make install, it would fail.
