Description

I couldn't find a way to make a PR for the Wiki so I'm writing it here. Feel free to provide suggestions or edits.


Location: Above "RHEL7 with EPEL requires installing python36-pexpect and running cmake3."


You can also install the testsuite by passing the -DINSTALL_TESTSUITE=ON option to cmake.


Location: Below "You can force Eclipse to rebuild the project by pressing Ctrl-B."


You can also install rr and rr-testsuite directly from the Fedora and EPEL repositories:

sudo yum install rr rr-testsuite

Location: At the very bottom.


If you installed the testsuite using the -DINSTALL_TESTSUITE=ON option or rr-testsuite (Fedora/EPEL), the testsuite will be located at $libdir/rr/testsuite. To run the testsuite:

cd $libdir/rr/testsuite/obj
ctest 

Note: There are some test cases which do not work correctly when ran from the installable testsuite.

Open the Wiki and locate the three positions identified in the issue: above the RHEL7/EPEL note, below the Eclipse rebuild note, and at the bottom. Add the Fedora/EPEL package command, the -DINSTALL_TESTSUITE=ON installation and ctest instructions, and the note about unsupported installed-testsuite cases; done means all requested guidance is present.
