INSTALL/TEST

   1 Testing egcs-1.0
   2
   3 Before you install egcs, you might wish to run the egcs testsuite; this
   4 step is optional and may require you to download additional software.
   5
   6 First, you must have downloaded the egcs testsuites; the full distribution
   7 contains testsuites.  If you downloaded the "core" compiler plus any front
   8 ends, then you do not have the testsuites.  You can download the testsuites
   9 from the same site where you downloaded the core distribution and language
  10 front ends.
  11
  12 Second, you must have a new version of dejagnu on your system; dejagnu-1.3
  13 will not work.  We have made a  dejagnu snapshot
  14 ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/egcs/infrastructure/dejagnu-971028.tar.gz
  15 dejagnu snapshot available in ftp.cygnus.com:/pub/egcs/infrastructure until
  16 a new version of dejagnu can be released.
  17
  18 Assuming you've got the testsuites unpacked and have installed an appropriate
  19 dejagnu, you can run the testsuite with "cd objdir; make -k check".
  20 This may take a long time.  Go get some lunch.
  21
  22 The testing process will try to test as many components in the egcs
  23 distrubution as possible, including the C, C++ and Fortran compiler as
  24 well as the C++ runtime libraries.
