RE: Help with binutils testsuite

[Fabio ARNONE <fabio dot arnone at st dot com>]

Hi Joseph,
sorry for my poor details (and trivial questions); but I'm new with
binutils. 

- my build system (on which I run "runtest") is the linux PC
- my host system (on which the binutils testing run) is the SH4 board
- the target system is the SH4 board
 (at any rate, I have a cross compiler too and I could switch to my linux
PC)

I run the following cmd:
runtest --build i686-pc-linux-gnu --host sh4-unknown-linux-gnu --tool
binutils --srcdir
/export/project/arnonef/binutils-stuff/binutils-2.18/binutils/testsuite
--host_board=sh_linux --target_board=sh_linux  objcopy.exp


- 10 tests pass, and 10 fails due to "no such file" in tmpdir
  and 1 is unresolved
(tmpdir is created by testsuite in my build system linux PC; but I didn't
found it in the host system SH4)

---------------------------------------------
My sh_linux.exp contains the following lines:
set_board_info  shell_prompt   "remote:"
set_board_info  username       "root"
set_board_info  rhs_prog       "/usr/bin/ssh"
set_board_info  hostname       <my SH4 IP addr>
set_board_info  compiler       sh4-linux-gcc
---------------------------------------------

thanks a lot
Fabio

This is not an adequate description of the environment.

What is the build system (the system on which you run the "runtest" or "make
check" command)?

What is the host system (the system on which the binutils programs you are
testing themselves run)?

What is the target system (the system for which those binutils programs
generate code)?

What --host_board argument do you pass to runtest?

What --target_board argument do you pass to runtest?

>From the information you give, I cannot figure out whether the host is the
build system, the target system or neither.
