Though I really don't think it's a good idea, have you tried just adding install : check to your Makefile.am?
Anyways, the reason I don't think it's a good idea is that it will break cross-compiling, as your test programs will probably not run on the build host in that case.. HTH rlc NB: I've never tried adding install : check to a Makefile.am, so I'm not *sure* it works, but I'd say it's wroth a try.. :) On Mon, 24 Mar 2003, Dr. David Kirkby wrote: > Sorry, I meant to say 'make check' not 'make test'.
