| >It is usually best to configure in a directory separate from the |
| source tree, specifying where to find the source with the optional |
| <I |
| CLASS="EMPHASIS" |
| >--srcdir</I |
| > option to |
| <I |
| CLASS="EMPHASIS" |
| >configure</I |
| >. DejaGnu uses the GNU |
| <I |
| CLASS="EMPHASIS" |
| >autoconf</I |
| > to configure itself. For more info on using |
| autoconf, read the GNU autoconf manual. To configure, execute the |
| <TT |
| CLASS="FILENAME" |
| >configure</TT |
| > program, no other options are |
| required. For an example, to configure in a seperate tree for objects, |
| execute the configure script from the source tree like this:</P |

| >You may also want to use the <B |
| CLASS="COMMAND" |
| >configure</B |
| > option |
| <I |
| CLASS="EMPHASIS" |
| >--prefix</I |
| > to specify where you want DejaGnu and its |
| supporting code installed. By default, installation is in subdirectories |
| of <TT |
| CLASS="FILENAME" |
| >/usr/local</TT |
| >, but you can select any alternate |
| directory <SPAN |

| <TT |

| >{altdir}} on the |

| >Save for a small number of example tests, the DejaGnu distribution |
| itself does not include any testsuites; these are available |
| separately. Testsuites for the GNU development tools are included in |
| those releases. After configuring the top-level DejaGnu directory, unpack |
| and configure the test directories for the tools you want to test; then, |
| in each test directory, run <I |
| CLASS="EMPHASIS" |
| >make check</I |
| > to build |
| auxiliary programs required by some of the tests, and run the test |
| suites.</P |
