Subject: [ng] check: avoid extra recursive make invocations
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=cd5adbfbbfee8c6b16946250dc151c5ffa67db76;p=thirdparty%2Fautomake.git

[ng] check: avoid extra recursive make invocations

After this change, "make check" will not cause any recursive make
invocation by default (unless there are $(SUBDIRS) to descend into, of
course).  One little price to pay is that the targets 'check-TESTS',
'check-DEJAGNU' and 'check-local' will always be defined (being dummy
by default).  The other one is that the old semantics are not 100%
preserved, so corner cases that worked in mainline Automake might not
work anymore out-of-the-box with Automake-NG, thus requiring the user
to make his dependency declarations more complete or precises.
We believe these prices are well worth paying.

* lib/am/check-target.am: Rewrite 'check-am' handling to avoid the
extra make recursion(s).  A side effect of this is that the transform
'%CHECK-DEPS%' is no more needed.  Accordingly ...
* automake.in (@check_tests): ... drop definition and updating of this
variable throughout, and ...
(handle_all_and_check): ... the definition of the '%CHECK-TESTS%'
transform when processing the 'check-target.am' file.
* t/local-targets.sh: Adjust to avoid spurious failures.
* t/checkall.sh: Remove, it's quite obsolete (and has just started
to spuriously fail).
