What you are looking for, if I understand correctly, is what's called partial ordering constraints. This is done by explicitly declaring make prerequisites between the log files generated by each unit test. What you want to do is see § 15.2.3 of Automake: https://www.gnu.org/software/automake/manual/html_node/Parallel-Test-Harness.html Scroll down and see the paragraph "In order to guarantee an ordering between tests...". Hope that is helpful. Yours truly, -- Kip Warner OpenPGP signed/encrypted mail preferred https://www.thevertigo.com
