Help with using jtreg to verify build needed

Not sure if this is the right place to ask or not, and if it isn't, please
direct me to the correct forum but I have been trying all day to use jtreg
to test my jdk 1.8 build with no success.

Here is my problem:
I am running ubuntu and have used the apt center to install jtreg. This
means that jtreg and jtdiff are installed under /usr/bin. When I run the
configure script it does not automatically detect jtreg and when I try
running it with the --with-jtreg=/usr/bin/jtreg or /usr/bin it fails
because it is trying to find the executable inside subdirectories that do
not exist because I did not install jtreg from source.

I tried to work around this by modifying line 16463
JTREGEXE="$JT_HOME/win32/bin/jtreg"
to
JTREGEXE="$JT_HOME/jtreg"

which made it detect jtreg but the command in the readme
*cd test && make PRODUCT_HOME=`pwd`/../build/*/images/j2sdk-image all

*still fails because it is still trying to look in
/usr/bin/win32/bin/jtreg

and win32/bin/jtreg does not exist.

Any help would be greatly welcome but if possible I don't want to have to
install jtreg from source as that is a whole other can of worms.

Thank you,
Matthew
