Projects that use Automake need only put "AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = dejagnu"
in their Makefile.am and the Makefile will include a "check" target
that will do the right thing and invoke runtest for you. The target
looks something like:
check-DEJAGNU: site.exp
if [ -d testsuite ]; then \
true; \
else \
mkdir testsuite; \
fi
rm -f testsuite/site.exp
cp site.exp testsuite/site.exp
rootme=`pwd`; export rootme; \
srcdir=`cd ${srcdir}; pwd` ; export srcdir ; \
EXPECT=${EXPECT} ; export EXPECT ; \
if [ -f $(top_builddir)/../expect/expect ]; then \
TCL_LIBRARY=`cd $(top_srcdir)/../tcl/library && pwd`; \
export TCL_LIBRARY; \
fi; \
runtest=$(RUNTEST); \
cd testsuite; \
if $(SHELL) -c "$$runtest --version" > /dev/null 2>&1; then \
$$runtest --tool $(DEJATOOL) --srcdir $${srcdir}/testsuite \
$(RUNTESTFLAGS); \
else echo "WARNING: could not find \`runtest'" 1>&2; :;\
fi
If you are not using Automake, you would need to write something like
this directly into your Makefile.
Now, "make check" will invoke runtest, passing the name of the tool
(--tool) and the location of your source directory (--src) and runtest
will scan that directory tree for .exp test scripts to run.
