The latest directory structure has broken expect's ability to find the
dejagnu directory.  Apparently, this needs to be fixed by moving
/usr/share/dejagnu to /share/dejagnu, or (possibly) by moving
/bin/expect to /usr/bin/expect.  DJD has answered already that he thinks
it is a path order problem IIUC.

IMHO the greatest defects of expect/dejagnu as currently ported to
cygwin are the tendency to allow g++ to hang and the tendency of expect
to make access violations. The g77 suites always run twice; Mumit Khan
used to have the same behavior using the standard NT port (non-cygwin).
I suppose that someone will tell me I could grab the cygwin sources,
figure out which testsuite cases are provoking expect bugs, and run them
under gdb.  Maybe these sources may be diff'd against the corresponding
version from scriptics in order to get an idea how to port the current
versions.

hmm, this is not good. when trying to run the egcs testsuite using
dejagnu,
i get the following error:

BASH.EXE-2.04$ runtest --tool g77
couldn't read file "/usr/share/dejagnu/runtest.exp": no such file or
directory
BASH.EXE-2.04$

as far as i can tell, there *is* a file /usr/share/dejagnu/runtest.exp
so there has to be some other problem lurking here...

Actually, I'd like to build tcl8.4.x (cvs sources?) adn then expect (cvs
sources
at dev.scriptics.com also) and then get dejagnu working perhaps...

Anyone has pointers on how to build tcl and expect under cygwin-1.1.2?

TIA,

/ChJ
