Need Help.

[Sriharsha Vedurmudi]

Hello Group,

   I need some help with Deja Gnu for testing a ported version of gcc
for a custom processor. I have downloaded Deja and untarred it into a
directory.
I then ran

./configure
make
make install

as specified in the INSTALL file. But how do I run it to verify the 
custom version of gcc.

I have an AMD Athelon XP 2400 machine running Redhat 8.0. I have two 
versions of gcc running on my machine under two different paths. One is 
the standard version 3.2.7 that ships with RH 8.0 and the other is a 
custom port that has been ported for one of our new processors. The 
Version informations of both are as below

/****** For the Version that comes with RH **********/

bash-2.05b$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2/specs
Configured with: ../configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man
--infodir=/usr/share/info --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix
--disable-checking --host=i386-redhat-linux --with-system-zlib

bash-2.05b$ gcc -v

gcc version 3.3 20040831 (rpine_support_release-1.0)
bash-2.05b$

/******************************************************************************/
In order to switch between the original port to the new port, I use the 
following script.

bash-2.05b$ cat setup
echo "=============================================="
echo "Setting Environment for GCC compiler for RPINE"
echo "=============================================="
export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/opt/GNUPlus/rpine/lib/gcc-lib/
export PATH=${GCC_EXEC_PREFIX}/rpine-elf32/3.3:$PATH
export PATH=/opt/GNUPlus/rpine/rpine-elf32/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/opt/GNUPlus/rpine/bin/:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/GNUPlus/rpine/lib/gdb:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
/******************************************************************************/

        Now, I guess, you have a picture of what is going on. I have two
versions of Gcc installed in my system and depending on which target I
am compiling for, I change the path so that, that gcc version is used.

Coming to the problem, I want to know how to run Deja to verify the 
Ported Version of GCC?

From my side, I went through Deja site and read all that was written
(at some point it was even suggested that I create a separate user for
the purpose) and all that confused me like hell. Can someone explain the
following in simpler terms.
1. How to run the test suite on a cross-compiler that co-exists with a
native installation? (Refer above to the setup).
2. How to add/delete tests to this suite? (Also, I couldnt see any
test-case programs with it)
3. How do I obtain/store results?

I've done much searching, but all that left me more confused.

SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND.

Kind regards,
Harsha.
