Hello,
It's me emailing again about attempting to improve the way that LTP is
built and tested.
As part of the validation of work with Cisco that I'm working on, it is
my responsibility to integrate LTP into our testing infrastructure. After
analyzing the Makefiles I've come to the following conclusions:
1. The make process isn't multiple arch/target friendly, i.e. you
build once for x86 and you have to rebuild for ia64, ppc64, etc and after
the build capture all of the compiled binaries using some intermediary
method.
2. Assuming that the user has gmake (which they should if they plan on
working with LTP and Linux), there are a number of simplifications that can
be made to the Makefiles to allow for simpler variable and make target
definition.
3. The uclinux* make targets could be removed in favor of
conditionally defined global targets.
I am more than happy to complete all of the work and submit it to LTP,
but I need to know whether or not there is any interest from the LTP
community before going down that road too far.
Thanks,
-Garrett
PS I have no intention of using automake / autoconf. I find them to be
somewhat atrocious build utilities :)...
