sdr-0.1.0.1 test suite failure

[peti]

While packaging sdr in NixOS, we've encountered a somewhat mysterious test suite failure in our CI: http://hydra.cryp.to/build/795272/log/raw. Do you happen to have an idea why that test suite reports a failure?

Its difficult to know for sure without the test log. I use the test suite to test signal processing code written in C that uses SIMD instructions including AVX2. My guess would be that as AVX2 is relatively new, the instruction set is not supported on your CI server.

I plan to implement checks for AVX, SSE, etc in the near future, which should eliminate this problem.

I have implemented the checks. Did this resolve the problem?

I've enabled the test suite again in https://github.com/peti/nixpkgs/commit/d7004bb6c89e84c2f5d0e65e5a4cf517c5a6c8bf. I'll let you know what comes out of it ASAP. Right now, we cannot build sdr, unfortunately, because GLUtil won't cope with recent versions of hpp.
