Cross compiling

• Edit the following lines in the Makefile to point to the cross compiler and uncomment the lines.

1. CROSS_COMPILER=$(CROSS_COMPILER_TOOL_CHAIN_PATH)-
   

Change to your tool chain path as per your installation.

1. LDFLAGS=-static
   
2. LOADLIBES=-lpthread -lc -lresolv -lnss_dns -lnss_files -lm -lc
   
3. export LOADLIBES LIB_DIR
   

• Run make.
• Please note that you may not find some of the pre-requisite static libraries to exist as part of your toolchain. You can either cross compile the library for your platform or ignore some specific tests that are dependant on the libraries to start with.
• Dependancy:You may have to cross compile the libraries nss_dns and nss_files when using the code sourcery tool chain.

Test setup

• EVM booted up with NFS configuration.
• Copy the compiled LTP package to a NFS mounted path.

Execution

• Execute the script runltp. This shell script is part of the LTP release package you download.
