Subject: Bugs in gdb/testsuite/{README,Makefile.in}
Date: Fri, 2 Oct 2020 13:02:33 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20201002120233.GB14696@blade.nx> (raw)
Hi all,
Some but not all of the check* rules in gdb/testsuite/Makefile.in
have dependencies on site.exp, but all of them probably should have.
This means the following will succeed if $RULE is "check", for
example, but fail if $RULE is "check-parallel-racy", and probably
others too:
mkdir build
cd build
../src/configure ...
make
cd gdb/testsuite
make $RULE
I've fixed this manually in my setup, by running 'make site.exp' under
gdb/testsuite. I found 'make site.exp' mentioned in gdb/testsuite/README,
but only indirectly: the README file says you can either run make
check from the toplevel build directory, or you can cd into
gdb/testsuite and use runtest after "make site.exp". Probably that
part of gdb/testsuite/README should also mention that you can use
"make check*" under gdb/testsuite too. Probably also, the check*
rules that don't depend on site.exp should have a dependency added.
I don't have time to fix either at present, so I'm not volunteering!
Cheers,
Gary
