I am wondering if the documentation is up to date. The reason I ask
this, I was reading the documentation page on 4.4 Adding a new board,
and I don’t see a Makefile.am in the directory suggested.
Here is a link to the text I am talking
about: https://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu/manual/Adding-a-new-board.html#Adding-a-new-board
No, the documentation is out-of-date. Your issue is related to
DejaGnu's move to a flat Automake layout with a single Makefile.am at
top-level. The section you mention also gives file names from the old
Cygnus tree layout, but that detail is easily overlooked.
Instead of adding to the boards_DATA list in baseboards/Makefile.am, you
will need to add your baseboard file to the baseboard_DATA list in the
top-level Makefile.am. For testing, you can also simply install your
file with the other baseboard files in $pkgdatadir/baseboards and
DejaGnu will find it -- you only need to edit Makefile.am to package
your baseboard file with DejaGnu, such as submitting your board file
upstream for inclusion in a future DejaGnu release.
Revising this part of the manual is on my local TODO list and is
currently delayed while I untangle the mess that DejaGnu board
configurations have become over the years.
I have the dejagnu 1.6 installed.
The latest release is 1.6.1, which fixes various minor bugs in 1.6, but
is probably no different with respect to this issue.
