How to use check suite

----------------------

You need DejaGNU package. Assuming you have it all you need to do is

make check

Something failed now what

-------------------------

First determine what did not work. If only one check failed you can

run it individually in debugging mode. For example

runtest -a -de -v w.test/w.exp

Expect binary is /usr/bin/expect

Using /usr/share/dejagnu/runtest.exp as main test driver

[...]

Do not bother capturing screen output, it is in testrun.log which

test suite generated.

$ ls testrun.* dbg.log

dbg.log testrun.log testrun.sum

The reason why test failed should be in dbg.log. Assuming you

figured out the reason you could write a patch fixing w.test/w.exp

and send it to upstream.

If you do not know how, or have time, to fix the issue create tar.gz

file containing test run logs and submit it to upstream maintainers.

Notice that in later case upstream sometimes has to ask clarifying

questions about environment where problem occurred.
