I have no idea how to approach this problem and I am assuming we want to use the tests in a package.<br>

Building a package to create a library is just the C compiler and build flags. Creating an executable is a more complex step requiring more parts of the system to be working, ie rtems_waf.git tweaks. Each package has its own way of building tests so I am not sure if the solution is in the RSB, RTEMS, RTEMS BSPs, the packages themselves or all of these.<br>

If this was a GSoC project and it includes tests it would be in the difficult category because the student would need experience in tools, build systems and RTEMS. A keen student would need to be showing a real interest in this area now.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
