#11958: Improved testing of cross-compiler -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: erikd | Owner: Type: task | Status: new Priority: low | Milestone: 8.2.1 Component: Test Suite | Version: 7.10.3 Resolution: | Keywords: cross-compile Operating System: Unknown/Multiple | Architecture: | Unknown/Multiple Type of failure: None/Unknown | Test Case: Blocked By: | Blocking: Related Tickets: | Differential Rev(s): Wiki Page: | -------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Comment (by erikd): @thomie suggested running `make test stage=1`. That failed because for some reason `hp2ps` doesn't get build during cross-compilation. If I remove the test for that program: {{{ diff --git a/testsuite/mk/boilerplate.mk b/testsuite/mk/boilerplate.mk index 077d503..64a7408 100644 --- a/testsuite/mk/boilerplate.mk +++ b/testsuite/mk/boilerplate.mk @@ -198,10 +198,10 @@ ifeq "$(shell test -x '$(HSC2HS)' && echo exists)" "" $(error Cannot find hsc2hs: $(HSC2HS)) endif -$(eval $(call canonicaliseExecutable,HP2PS_ABS)) -ifeq "$(shell test -x '$(HP2PS_ABS)' && echo exists)" "" -$(error Cannot find hp2ps: $(HP2PS_ABS)) -endif $(eval $(call canonicaliseExecutable,HPC)) ifeq "$(shell test -x '$(HPC)' && echo exists)" "" }}} then the tests do actually run (x86_64/linux cross compiling to armhf/linux): {{{ OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Sun Apr 24 20:40:22 2016 AEST 0:28:29 spent to go through 5128 total tests, which gave rise to 12346 test cases, of which 7884 were skipped 66 had missing libraries 4096 expected passes 157 expected failures 13 caused framework failures 9 unexpected passes 134 unexpected failures 0 unexpected stat failures }}} It seems some of these tests failed because the 64 bit `Word` results were expected instead of using the 32 bit `Word` expected results. This idea does seem promising. -- Ticket URL: http://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/11958#comment:1 GHC http://www.haskell.org/ghc/ The Glasgow Haskell Compiler
