Does it use the "simple Automake tests" test driver that is invoked when the TESTS variable is set? > The problem is that I want to pass parameters (--report_level=detailed > --log_level=all) to my test program via command line. > How can I specify parameters to be passed to test executable during > "make check"? > Is it possible at all? With Automake 1.10.2, it is possible but only through a kludge. For example: --- test-driver --- #! /bin/sh exec $1 --report_level=detailed --log_level=all --- Makefile.am --- # hack: put a driver right before the test name. TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = ./test-driver TESTS = prog1 ... --- With the 'parallel-tests' driver in upcoming Automake 1.11, it will at least be possible not use the TESTS_ENVIRONMENT variable (which is indented to be a user variable), but a LOG_COMPILER variable (or FOO_LOG_COMPILER for tests with known extension .foo) for this same hack. We still don't support passing arguments; I'm wondering whether we should, and what to name the respective variables, and how to allow to per-target'ify them. Cheers, Ralf
