  18 This is the file that gets printed when the user runs "make help",
  19 starting just after the "help-starts-here" line.
  20
  21 help-starts-here
  22
  23 all
  24         The usual default; builds everything but doesn't run the
  25         tests.
  26
  27 check (or tests)
  28         Runs the standard set of tests.
  29
  30 test
  31         Runs one test.  Use like this:
  32                 make test t=wcsmbs/test-wcsnlen
  33         Note that this will rebuild the test if needed, but will not
  34         rebuild what "make all" would have rebuilt.

  37 Other useful hints:
  38
  39 builddir$ rm testroot.pristine/install.stamp
  40         Forces the testroot to be reinstalled the next time you run
  41         the testsuite (or just rm -rf testroot.pristine)
