dejagnu for SCO Open Server 5

dejagnu for SCO Open Server 5

[David Gressett]

Has anybody built a working dejagnu for SCO Open Server 5.04 or 5.05?
I have built gcc-2.95.3.test2, but I cannot test it. I can't get
degagnu-20000518 to build as-is. It dies building libiberty, even though
gcc has already done that. I can go down into the dejagnu subdirectory and
configure and install from there, as I already have the skunkware tcl and
expect and can thus avoid the inability to build them from the dejagnu
distribution. Something is still missing. make check-gcc produces these
messages

WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file
WARNING: Couldn't find the tool init file

By digging through the source code, I find that a missing file is "site.exp",
but I have no idea how to construct it. I know next to nothing about tcl or
expect. (Time to learn. Sigh. Those 30-hour days on backorder are probably
never going to come in.)

What's a dejagnu?  If you mean gcc, yes, up until last week.
Something was broken then and should be fixed imminently in the source tree.

Yes.  I've jused dejagnu for the GCC testsuite on OpenServer for years.

I don't know how old my dejagnu is, but it's older than that.  I don't
recall the build being eventful.  My runtest has a date of October 1998.

$ runtest --version
WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.
Expect version is       5.26
Tcl version is          8.0
Framework version is    1.3.0

The terms of death would be helpful to know.

I do think I recall that not working well in the past.  It seemed that
no two versions of tcl were compatible enough so it was worth it to
me to make the tradeoff of build time vs. grief to use the integrated
versions.

Those are warnings, not errors.   Mine displays the first.

On mine, site.exp is mechanically generated in $objdir/gcc/.  It
contains things like the correct -I and -L incantations to do the
testsuite run from the locally installed directory.

The testsuite documentation is a bit lacking, unfortunately. I'm going
to install the following patch which might make the situation is bit
more clear -- I hope.

Does this help?
