I did not run any tests since I am not aware of a Darwin/x86 port of
dejagnu and except.
No `port' is necessary, they should just work.

Well, when I try to run the testsuite inside my objdir like 'make -k

Mike meant that the software doesn't need to be ported, because it

has been ported; you do need to install it.  You haven't installed
"expect", which is required by dejagnu.

Oh, I understand. But I have some different information than what Mike  
is saying. A while ago I was in need of dejagnu on Darwin 6.8/ppc (Mac  
OS 10.2.8) so I tried to install it and everything it needs. The  
current version of expect from this time (5.40.0) was not aware of  
Darwin:

./configure --disable-shared --with-tcl=/opt/local/lib/  
--with-tclinclude=/Volumes/Data/Projekte/darwinports/dports/lang/tcl/

configuring Expect 5.40.0
checking for autoconf... yes
checking configure up to date... yes

checking build system type... Invalid configuration

I got in contact with the Author of expect and he even happened to have  
a Mac :-) but he didn't figure out how to install the developer tools  
on it. I told him how to do it and never heard from him again ... this  
was in february this year. So I assumed nothing has changed so far.

regards, Lars
