Right, that is sufficiently simple for me. I wonder what the best idiom for gnulib should be. We probably do not want to require automake CVS just yet. Should it be the one I'm using: TESTS += test-gc$(EXEEXT) check_PROGRAMS += test-gc or should we do selftests = test-gc$(EXEEXT) TESTS += $(selftests) check_PROGRAMS += $(selftests) Opinions? I haven't tested that the latter works, but based on what you write, I assume it does. Once we require the next automake release, the $(EXEEXT) could be removed. > Append $(EXEEXT) to programs that may be listed in TESTS. > Report from Simon Josefsson. Is this on the CVS trunk? Is there any other automake branch one should pay attention to, in general? Thanks!
