Simon's http://autobuild.josefsson.org/gnulib/ summary page could be more useful (and larger :-)) if more people submit test results. To this effect, I'm adding a facility that produces an 'autobuild' script in "gnulib-tool --create-megatestdir".
The use of this facility is as follows:
1) On a machine with recent automake, autoconf, m4 installed and with a
gnulib cvs checkout (typically a Linux machine), use
"gnulib-tool --create-megatestdir --dir=..."
Note: The created directory uses ca. 512 MB on disk.
2) Transfer this directory to a build machine (HP-UX, Cygwin, or whatever).
3) On the build machine, run ./autobuild (or "nohup ./autobuild").
It creates a directory 'logs/' with a log file for each module.
4) Submit each log file to Simon's site, either through a
mail `echo gnulib__at__autobuild.josefsson.org | sed -e s/__at__/@/`
or through netcat
autobuild-submit logs/*
Step 1 does not do a "cvs update -dP"; you need to do that yourself.
Step 3 does not transfer the log files automatically; this is because
the build machine may not even have an internet connection, and also for
privacy reasons.
