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.
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
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.
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.
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.
