I'm trying to learn automake (Autotools by John Calcotte) and am stumped on creating a check program to test my C++ library. A partial listing of the program is given below. The example in the text shows creation of a test program using a shell script testing the output of the test program. I have a program, linked to the library, which when executed tests the library functionality. Do I have to create the test program using noinst and then execute using a shell script? Any scripting examples or references to examples would help.
There needs to be check_PROGRAMS set to the list of programs which need to be built to support the 'check' target. It seems like you did that. However, I don't see where you created the build specification for the program 'Test' (e.g. Test_SOURCES).
To be more clear, you can have many test programs so your 'check_SOURCES' specification does not make sense. Each test program has its own _SOURCES and the only program you have listed is 'Test'.
I would offer my own project as an example but it is large, non-recursive, uses Makefile includes from subdirectories, and uses Automake's TAP test framework so it may not be easy to understand.
