Hi everyone,
OK, I'm slow. I just woke up from a late night. "test -r vxWorks.h"
is the mechanism to ensure that tests only fire on a vxworks platform.
Seems a bit obscure, but if it is easier than other mechanisms, then
fine. I do think a "mach" test would be much more straight forward:
* mach - Match the output of config.guess against a series of
fnmatch
patterns. It must match at least one of the patterns,
unless
"not-machine" has also been specified. In that case, the
config.guess output must not match any of the patterns.
<snip />
and even then, it should be researched as to whether or not you need
to prefix the touched file name with "${SRCDIR}/" because I don't
remember.
I still think:
mach = "*-*-vxworks*";
is more straight forward, and you can then eliminate the touchy vxWorks.h
thingy.
The version that I posted in the original thread is not the latest
version. The patches that I've sent to -patches all use the mach test,
not the test idiom.
