Getting started

Step 1: Creating your own test

We have written a basic test that contains everything needed. We suggest you copy it from the samples directory to get started:

cp -r samples/base_task samples/newtask

Now adjust the Makefile in your test-directory (use the editor of your choice instead of emacs).

cd samples/newtask
emacs Makefile

Replace every occurance of base_task with newtask.

After that rename your base_task.cpp and base_task.seq in the samples/newtask directory in newtask.cpp and newtask.seq.

Step 2: Compiling the test

Now you are ready to compile your test.
Simple type:

make

and your test will be compiled.

Step 3: Running the test

Now you can run your first test, but don't expect too much, it won't do anything.
You can either start it directly by typing:

./newtask

Otherwise you can use the shipped startscript named "startptf" in the samples-directory:

../startptf.sh ./newtask

You will need this if you want to use several monitors.

Step 4: Developing a new test

Go to the next section or return to the index.
