While installing dejagnu 1.4.4 on an old Linux host, I followed the
INSTALL and README instructions:
./configure MYHOSTYPE
Not knowing exactly what was needed, I did:
./config.sub [various names...]
and got variations of what is in ./config.guess (i686-pc-linux-gnu).
I then used configure with and without the MYHOSTYPE (i686-pc-linux-gnu) option.
With the MYHOSTYPE option I got warnings about proper use of options:
configure: WARNING: you should use --build, --host, --target
Without the option I got no warnings.
"make" went fine, then I tried "make check" (as well as "make -k
check") which resulted in errors about not finding "runtest" (a shell
program in the source top-level directory):
ERROR: Can't find runtest
and the test ended with:
=== Summary ===
# of expected passes 39
# of unresolved testcases 23
If the check target is not intended to work it needs to be turned off.
Finally, before I follow the installation checks, some questions, if you please:
+ Do I need to have a special user for the tests?
+ If so, why?
I also have some suggestions for updating the docs which I will send
as a patch later if you are interested.
Thanks for your help.
