But I don't know how the environment (again, broader sense than just environment variables) must be set up; that's part of the problem. I know that at least the TEST_DIR and QEMU_DEFAULT_MACHINE environment variables must be set, but listing those in the error message gives an impression that it's all the user needs to do. Bad advice is worse than no advice. We could write something like "The TEST_DIR and QEMU_DEFAULT_MACHINE environment variables must be set and there may be other things that the tests may expect to have been set up. See what the 'check' script does if you want to invoke the tests some other way than running 'check'.", but I don't really see the additional value to the user.
