Hi,
I'm curious on what the intent of having the -k parameter in make -k check.
To this point in time I always thought it was to continue with the tests even
after unexpected test failures. But after removing the -k, the only error I
got early on was
autogen -T ../../fixincludes/check.tpl ../../fixincludes/inclhack.def
make[2]: autogen: Command not found
which caused an early halt.
With autogen installed, make check seemed to complete all the tests even though
not all of them were successful.
We do not give any recipe for autogen, so it is assumed that it is
not installed, hence the "-k", to prevent "make check" from failing
early.
Yes, but should that not be explained in the text? i.e. Why we are doing it.
We don't explain every option for every command. It should be fairly easy
to 'man make':
-k, --keep-going
Continue as much as possible after an error. While the
target that failed, and those that depend on it, cannot be remade, the
other dependencies of these targets can be processed all the same.
