What if the tools cannot be run or built on a system? Can the benchmarks be run manually?
To generate rule-compliant results, an approved toolset must be used. If several attempts at using the SPEC-provided tools are not successful, you should contact SPEC for technical support. SPEC may be able to help you, but this is not always possible — for example, if you are attempting to build the tools on a platform that is not available to SPEC. If you just want to work with the benchmarks and do not care to generate publishable results, SPEC provides information about how to do so.
