This package checks for your Dejagnu version in a
*very* version-specific way; it may be that your
Dejagnu version is too new to be recognized.
The file to look at is debian/rules; it contains
a section that checks your dejagnu version, starting at
about line 169:
with_check := $(strip $(shell if [ -f contrib/test_summary ]; \
then echo yes; else echo test_summary script not found; fi))
# If you don't want to run the egcs testsuite, set `with_check' to `no'
#with_check := disabled by hand
ifeq ($(with_check),yes)
ifneq ($(shell runtest --version 2>/dev/null \
| awk '/^Framework/ {print $$NF}'),1.3.0)
with_check := no appropriate DejaGnu version installed
endif
endif
Basically, it checks the output of "runtest --version" and
barfs if it doesn't say "Framework version is 1.3.0".
Find out what output you actually get, and edit the test
appropriately; that should allow you to both build and test it.
