Bug #: 14051
Summary: Incorrect instructions for running llvm tests in
Visual Studio guide
Product: Documentation
Version: trunk
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P
Component: General docs
AssignedTo: [email protected]
ReportedBy: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Classification: Unclassified
http://www.llvm.org/docs/GettingStartedVS.html says:
9. Test LLVM:
The LLVM tests can be run by changing directory to the llvm source
directory and running:
C:\..\llvm> llvm-lit test
Note that quite a few of these test will fail.
A specific test or test directory can be run with:
C:\..\llvm> llvm-lit test/path/to/test
There are several things wrong with this.
1. If you have followed the instructions up to now, "llvm-lit" will not be
found. There was no step that added the build directory's "bin" directory to
your path (and there probably shouldn't be). In fact you must type something
like:
C:\Python27\python \path\to\build\directory\bin\llvm-lit test
to even run llvm-lit.
2. llvm-lit will then fail anyway because llvm-lit.in contains CMAKE variables
that can only be expanded by Visual Studio, such as @CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR@ See
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake2.6docs.html#variable:CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR
3. llvm-lit appears to depend on bash, which is not included in the GnuWin32
step earlier in the instructions.
These problems lead me to believe that step 9 of this guide is very out-of-date
and that the tests aren't intended to be run like this at all.
