Extended Description

the configure script for llvm-test should provide a flag for setting the base
directory that is used to search for all the external tests. The common case is
all the external tests are in the same base directory and specifying each with a
--with-x flag is tedious. Nightlytest.pl should also be updated to take and
pass this data.

Hi Reid,

After this set of changes I have not been able to get my nightly tester to run
the external tests. This is what I got:

gmake -j1 TEST=nightly 2>&1 | tee report.nightly.raw.out
gmake[1]: warning: -jN forced in submake: disabling jobserver mode.
gmake[2]: Nothing to be done for `test'.
/Volumes/Zzzzzzz/LLVM/nightlytest/build/llvm/projects/llvm-test/GenerateReport.pl
-html
/Volumes/Zzzzzzz/LLVM/nightlytest/build/llvm/projects/llvm-test/TEST.nightly.report
< report.nightly.raw.out > report.nightly.html

Any ideas?

Evan

I added a -with-externals option to NightlyTest.pl script. This should help you
specify the location of your external tests. Please invoke NighlyTest.pl with
that option. Note that you will need to have all your external tests in one
directory if you use this option.
