58 - $TOP_SRCDIR and $TOP_BUILDDIR are the same for in-build-tree scenarios.
59 - $TOP_SRCDIR and $TOP_BUILDDIR differ for out-of-build-tree scenarios.
61 See the In-build-tree and Out-of-build-tree sections below for more details on
69 In-build-tree support is when you build binaries (applications, binary objects)
70 in the same directory where the source files reside.
78 - Specifying DESTDIR is optional, but required when installing to a non-host
79 sysroot, as opposed to the host system's sysroot.
80 - Specify SKIP_IDCHECK=1 if and when you don't want to modify /etc/{group,passwd}
81 on the target system's sysroot.
83 If you get a build error, please report it to ltp-list@lists.sf.net with
84 following information,
86 1. The error output before the failure.
87 2. If you used configure:
89 ii. include/mk/config.mk
94 Out-of-build-tree support is when you build binaries (applications, binary
95 objects, generated files) outside of the directory where the source files
96 reside. This is typically used when cross-compiling for multiple targets.
98 NOTE: This is by and large correctly implemented, but there are several corner
99 case, where this isn't implemented properly. Please see TODO for a list of items
100 which need fixing in the LTP tree.

132 *NOTE: The LTP assumes the existence of the nobody, bin, and daemon users and
133 their groups. If these IDs do not exist, certain tests will fail. The users
134 and groups IDs should be the same, i.e. if user "nobody" is 99, then it's
135 group should also be "99". The names of the groups are irrelevant.
138 Detailed Installation
139 ---------------------
141 Beyond the "Quick Start" instructions, there are only a few other things
142 that should be done. The Linux Test Project build process uses a
143 minimalist approach. There is a lot of room for improvement and
144 contributions are welcome.
148 2. Untar the ltp tarball into a spare directory. There is not a
149 standard location for it yet. We put it in our home directory
150 while we're working on it.
151 Note that the full path to this location must be accessible for
152 unprivileged users, as some tests are run as a different user than root.
153 Hence /root is not a good choice on several distributions.
155 3. Build and install everything, as described above. Note the minimum software
156 requirements above before doing so.
158 4. You can run all of the tests sequentially using the example test script
159 runalltests.sh. The script is provided to get you started.
160 See ltp-pan(1) for more information on the test driver we have provided.
161 It is simple, but it can do a lot of stuff.
163 NOTE: The diskio and network tests will NOT be run by the runalltests.sh
164 script. They are separate from the other tests because of the additional
165 required setup overhead.
167 5. The disk I/O tests can be run by executing the diskio.sh script. In order
168 for these tests to successfully operate a writable high-density 3.5" floppy
169 must be in the disk drive and a CD-ROM with more than 100Mb of data must be
170 in the CD-ROM drive. The corresponding tests will fail if either disk is
173 6. The network tests are executed by running the networktests.sh script. The
174 network tests require some configuration for them to work correctly:
176 i) First, there MUST be another test machine setup to act as the server
177 to these client side tests. This machine MUST have the LTP installed
178 in the same exact location, i.e. if the client has /root/ltp, then the
179 server must have /root/ltp. This is required because certain tests
180 expect to find server files in certain locations. Make sure to compile
181 the LTP on this server machine also.
183 ii) Second, the server must be setup to allow the client to connect using
184 the "r" commands, such as rsh. This is done by simply creating/editing
185 the ".rhosts" file under /root. Place the hostname of the client
186 machine in this file to allow root to remotely connect without the use
187 of a password. If server has the PAM system security tool, you need
188 to add the following lines to /etc/securetty:
197 iii) Next, certain services must be activated in order for certain tests to
198 execute. The following services are activated via inetd/xinetd:
205 Also, because certain RPC programs are tested, the "portmapper" daemon
206 MUST be started, as well as NFS server AND lock services.
208 iv) Finally, before running the networktests.sh script, two variables must
209 be set within the script file. The "RHOST" variable should be set to
210 the hostname of the server. The "PASSWD" variable should be set to
211 root's password on the server machine. This is necessary for tests
212 such as telnet01 and ftp01.
214 You can now successfully execute the networktests.sh script.
215 When you would like to run the whole network tests, specify -w option:
216 # ./networktests.sh -w
218 When you would like to run the same tests which networktests.sh ran till
219 2008, specify no option or -d option:
222 You can run the test category which you are interested in, -h option shows
223 the list of the test category:
224 # ./netwoktests.sh -h
230 To cross compile, you must specify the correct variables:
232 1. When running configure (CC, CXX, CXXFLAGS, LDLIBS, etc).
233 2. Manually edit include/mk/config.mk, as described in Configuration.
235 Note: Do not specify variables on the command-line. Use config.mk instead.
239 Specify UCLINUX=1 when calling make; -DUCLINUX=1 use is deprecated and highly
242 Variables in Makefile
243 ----------------------
245 The conventions enforced are standard ones. Here's a quick summary:
247 CFLAGS - used when compiling/linking C code, e.g. -D_GNU_SOURCE (no CPPFLAGS!)
249 CXXFLAGS - used when compiling/linking C++ code (no CPPFLAGS!)
251 CPPFLAGS - used when preprocessor is run (so C/C++ compiling with $(CPP)
252 functions, e.g. -I$SYSROOT/usr/include -I$SYSROOT/include -I$SYSROOT
254 LDFLAGS - linker flags, e.g. "-L$SYSROOT/usr/lib" "-L$SYSROOT/lib". DO NOT
255 PUT LIBRARIES IN THIS LIST (see LDLIBS for that).
257 LDLIBS - libraries listed after objects during link, e.g. -lc, -lpthread,
260 See README.mk-devel for a more terse description of what's available.
263 ----------------------
265 Issue: When executing configure it says:
267 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
268 checking whether build environment is sane... yes
269 checking for gawk... gawk
270 checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
271 configure: error: cannot run /bin/sh ./config.sub
273 Solution: You must upgrade autoconf to 0.10.2+ and m4 to 1.4.7+; config.guess and config.sub aren't necessarily generated with older revisions of the Gnu autotools chain.
275 Issue: When executing make [all] it says:
277 " *** No rule to make target `/$*', needed by `pan-all'. Stop."
279 Solution: You must upgrade to make 3.81. Please see the Requirements section above.
281 Issue: When executing make [all] it says something like:
284 install -m 00644 "/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/include/test.h" "/scratch/ltp-install12/include/test.h"
285 install -m 00644 "/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/include/tlibio.h" "/scratch/ltp-install12/include/tlibio.h"
286 install -m 00644 "/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/include/usctest.h" "/scratch/ltp-install12/include/usctest.h"
287 install -m 00644 "/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/include/write_log.h" "/scratch/ltp-install12/include/write_log.h"
288 make[1]: Leaving directory `/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/include'
289 make -C lib -f "/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/lib/Makefile" all
290 make[1]: Entering directory `/scratch/ltp-dev2/ltp/lib'
291 " *** No rule to make target `dataascii.o', needed by `libltp.a'. Stop." # <-- the error
293 Solution: You cannot build LTP with -r / --no-builtin-rules and/or
294 -R / --no-builtin-variables specified. LTP relies heavily on built-in
295 implicit rules and variables to function properly.
