Running the Testsuite
=====================
To run newlib's testsuite, you'll need a site.exp in your home
directory which points dejagnu to the proper baseboards directory and
the proper exp file for your target.
Before running make check-target-newlib, set the DEJAGNU environment
variable to point to ~/site.exp.
Here is a sample site.exp:
# Make sure we look in the right place for the board description files.
if ![info exists boards_dir] {
set boards_dir {}
}
lappend boards_dir "your dejagnu/baseboards here"
verbose "Global Config File: target_triplet is $target_triplet" 2
global target_list
case "$target_triplet" in {
{ "mips-*elf*" } {
set target_list "mips-sim"
}
default {
set target_list { "unix" }
}
}
mips-sim refers to an exp file in the baseboards directory. You'll
need to add the other targets you're testing to the case statement.
Now type make check-target-newlib in the top-level build directory to
run the testsuite.
Shared newlib
=============
newlib now uses libtool when it is being compiled natively (with
--target=i[3456]86-pc-linux-gnu) on an i[3456]86-pc-linux-gnu host. This
allows newlib to be compiled as a shared library.
