RE: How to customizing dejagnu for new architecture which isnotsupported by GCC ?

[Venkatesan Jeevanandam]

Hi Ben,

First of all thanks for your response.

I have added a file "arch-sim.exp" in baseboards directory. 

I am using only testsuite part of gcc, it doesn't contain makefile.

I am using the command like this...

#runtest --tool gcc --target_board arch-sim compile.exp

But, this command tests installed gcc compiler in my Fedora core 5 machine
(gcc 4.1.0). how to change this default gcc compiler to my new compiler
"arch-gcc"

Thanks
Venkat

You need to create a board file that tells DejaGnu how to find the
compiler, how to link tests, how to execute them, etc.  See
/usr/share/dejagnu/baseboards for examples.

Yes.  When you've created a yourboard.exp file, you then run the
testsuite using:

  make RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board yourboard.exp" check-gcc

Write back if you have trouble writing a board definition.

Cheers, Ben
