I'm trying to build and test the gcc Java compiler and library on a typical PC running Linux (target is "i686-pc-linux-gnu"; I'm actually running Ubuntu 12.04). So I read the following at "http://gcc.gnu.org/install/test.html": **** The Java runtime tests can be executed via `make check' in the target/libjava/testsuite directory in the build tree. The Mauve Project provides a suite of tests for the Java Class Libraries. This suite can be run as part of libgcj testing by placing the Mauve tree within the libjava testsuite at libjava/testsuite/libjava.mauve/mauve, or by specifying the location of that tree when invoking `make', as in `make MAUVEDIR=~mauve check'. **** OK - sounds simple enough. But I go to get mauve, and it *appears* to be an abandoned project at "http://www.sourceware.org/mauve/". Snapshots are not available as advertised, no recent activity on the mailing lists, source available via CVS (not svn or git), etc. Attempting to anonymously login to the CVS repository per the instructions on the mauve website gets me nowhere: **** $ cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:/cvs/mauve login Logging in to :pserver:anoncvs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx:2401/cvs/mauve CVS password: <- I enter "anoncvs" here cvs [login aborted]: unrecognized auth response from sourceware.org: Service temporarily unavailable, please try again later $ **** So I went to the Ubuntu Software Center and downloaded the mauve package, which puts a tarball in /usr/src and docs in /usr/share/doc/mauve. It appears that someone (Canonical?) made this package on 2012-01-03 (according to the detail notes I see in the Software Center for the package). I moved/unpacked the tarball, set a symlink from the parent of my gcc source directory to the "mauve" directory, and then ran make as directed (specifically, the command looks like the following in my case: "make MAUVEDIR=/home/youngmj/DevTools/Gnu_Compiler_Collection-gcc/Version_4.7.2/source/../mauve check > ~/libjava_test_log__20130219_1318.txt 2>&1") But then I look in the captured output file and see the following: **** Native configuration is i686-pc-linux-gnu === libjava tests === Schedule of variations: unix Running target unix Using /usr/share/dejagnu/baseboards/unix.exp as board description file for target.

The README.Debian file suggests that using mauve with srcdir != objdir (as I believe the gcc make does) does not seem to work well, but that's probably a red herring. In any case, the makefile is complaining about an invalid target "classes.stamp". As seen in the captured output, the other (non-mauve) DejaGnu/expect scripts seem to be running without problems - and I do get a summary and log file in the testsuite directory, as expected.
