“All the autoconf/automake support is just cause those program […]”
should be
“All the autoconf/automake support is just because those program […]”
“the local site.exp file” : it would be useful to mention where that file is to be found, namely /etc/dejagnu/site.exp.
3.2.2, p. 7
“There is book "GNU autoconf, automake and libtool" […]”
should be
“There is a book "GNU autoconf, automake and libtool" […]”
“[…] you might examine a little bit close to derive […]”
should be
“[…] you might examine a little bit closer to derive […]”
p. 8
“[…] developed as port of the DejaGnu distribution.”
should be
“[…] developed as part of the DejaGnu distribution.”
“Replace the line "#noinst_PROGRAMS = calc" to "bin_PROGRAMS = calc".”
should be
“Replace the line "#noinst_PROGRAMS = calc" with "bin_PROGRAMS = calc".”
(unfortunately, no such "#noinst_PROGRAMS = calc" in the recovered calc directory)
“Running automake at this point contains a series of warning in its output as shown […]”
should be
“Running automake at this point generates a series of warning in its output as shown […]”
“Create a empty directory […]”
should be
“Create an empty directory […]”
“Create […]empty files INSTALL, NEWS, README, AUTHORS, ChangeLog and COPYING.”
should be
“Create […]empty files INSTALL, NEWS, README, AUTHORS, and ChangeLog.”
(As the next sentence remarks and as shown by the automake output, there will be a default COPYING link installed, so creating an empty COPYING is both undesirable and impossible)
“Adapt calc to your environment by calling configure.”
That does not work (with the recovered examples/calc). It seems /usr/share/doc/dejagnu/examples/calc/Makefile.in.gz should be deployed to ~/dejagnu.test/
p. 9
“[…] should not contain any surprise to you.”
should be
“[…] should not contain any surprise for you.”
“Respecting the right order assures a automatic and correctly compiled calc program. The following example resumes the correct order.”
should be
“Respecting the right order assures an automatic and correctly compiled calc program. The following example summarizes the correct order.”
(That’s as far as I can get following the instructions: the make fails to compile calc (it doesn’t even try to compile it))
