Hi, Just belatedly trying to put some testing stuff into my code and I'm a little confused about when 'make check' is supposed to be run.
As I'm currently understanding it, 'make check' is supposed to be run after building but before installing. But what if your code won't run until it's installed (e.g. it has scripts containing paths substituted in there by configure that refer to the installation directories). This would seem to be quite a common situation in fact. I also notice that automake generates an 'installcheck' target, but it's not described in the documentation. Is this the place to put tests for the installed package? Or does it have some other internal purpose? How do I put a test for the installed software into my makefiles? Cheers, Sy
