Re: how to change the behaviour of "make check"?

[Ireneusz SZCZESNIAK]

Hi,

Thanks for your e-mail.

bernd> It should if you say "make -k check".

"make -k check" only partially works for me.  The "-k" option causes
"make" to ignore all errors and therefore continue with recursive
execution -- in this way it does what I want.

But I only want "make" to ignore errors from running tests, not all
errors.  My test scripts are automatically generated by "make" and
then run.  If "make" fails to generate such a script, then I want
"make" to report the error and stop.


Best,
Irek
