My fault -- I wasn't careful, I am sorry! I think you understood me this way: the command "make" generates the test scripts, and "make -k check" runs the test scripts. In this case then let us execute "make" to safely build the test scripts (without the "-k" option), and then execute "make -k check" to run the test scripts. I should have written: "My test scripts are automatically generated by the Make software (not the "make" command) and then run". Actually, the scripts are both generated and run by "make check". Best, Irek
