Maybe not magic, but that was truly the map through the minefield.
After rebuilding binutils, to detect the new testsuite directory, we
have:
Running /usr/local/src/binutils-041119/gas/testsuite/gas/arm/arm.exp ...
Running /usr/local/src/binutils-041119/gas/testsuite/gas/avr/avr.exp ...
Running /usr/local/src/binutils-041119/gas/testsuite/gas/cfi/cfi.exp ...
That leaves two next steps: (Jump in with both feet? :-)
a) Figure out how to specify the assembler path, so we can regression
test a newly built one. (Doesn't seem to be an option in the *.d
head)
b) Figure out why the test run gobbles up 250 ptys, then resumes after a
2 minute wait:
Running /usr/local/src/binutils-041119/gas/testsuite/gas/all/gas.exp ...
ERROR: Can't run gas/all/comment.s: The system has no more ptys. Ask
your system administrator to create more.
ERROR: timeout
I was hoping to leave Dmitry with a functioning basic environment, for
addition of test cases, before going away for Christmas, at the end of
this week, so any hints on this next level would be gold.
Thanks for your patience,
Erik
