Canonical repository, website and downloads.

[Luis Lavena]

Hello,

My name is Luis Lavena, maintainer of a Ruby distribution for Windows
named RubyInstaller.

I had email the list in the past about build or test issues with
libffi. Thank you all for the replies and the suggestions.

This time I wanted to consolidate information about libffi codebase
location and any website information.

Right now, using the atgreen repository at GitHub I can successfully
compile libffi 3.0.10 from it.

However, I cannot run test from it:

$ make check
Making check in include
make[1]: Entering directory `/c/Users/Luis/Projects/oss/libffi/include'
make[1]: Nothing to be done for `check'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/Users/Luis/Projects/oss/libffi/include'

        runtest=`if [ -f ../../dejagnu/runtest ] ; then echo
../../dejagnu/runtest ; else echo runtest; fi`; \
        if /bin/sh -c "$runtest --version" > /dev/null 2>&1; then \
          exit_status=0; l='libffi'; for tool in $l; do \
            if $runtest  --tool $tool --srcdir $srcdir ; \
            then :; else exit_status=1; fi; \
          done; \
        else echo "WARNING: could not find \`runtest'" 1>&2; :;\
        fi; \
        exit $exit_status
WARNING: could not find `runtest'
make[2]: Leaving directory `/c/Users/Luis/Projects/oss/libffi/testsuite'
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/Users/Luis/Projects/oss/libffi/testsuite'

make[1]: Nothing to be done for `check-am'.
make[1]: Leaving directory `/c/Users/Luis/Projects/oss/libffi'

There is no "runtest", any hint or pointer on getting that missing requirement?

I would like to run these test to be able to provide a set of binaries
for Windows platform so we can use libffi properly in some projects.

Thank you in advance.

"runtest" is part of DejaGNU.  http://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/

Are you using cygwin?  I believe there's a dejagnu port in the cygwin
repository.

Good luck!

Thank you for the link and information, diving into it now.

MSYS actually.

DejaGNU requires expect which I expectingly don't have :-P

Researching a bit more and will ask question if I find any other problem.

Thank you :-)

Well, I'm pretty sure you can configure a cygwin hosted DejaGNU to build
and test MSYS hosted test programs.  So be sure to look into that as an
option if you need to.
