Hi, In the https://git.savannah.gnu.org/git/parted.git repository, in bootstrap.conf there are the lines
gnulib_tool_option_extras="--tests-base=gnulib-tests --with-tests --symlink\ --makefile-name=gnulib.mk " mkdir -p gnulib-tests But since 1) the directory gnulib-tests/ does not have a Makefile.am, 2) the top-level Makefile.am does not include 'gnulib-tests' among the SUBDIRS, this generation of gnulib-tests is pointless. You could drop it: gnulib_tool_option_extras="--symlink\ --makefile-name=gnulib.mk "
