A combination of looking at Autoconf's testsuite itself, > the autotest/general.m4 file, and the info docs you mentioned, have > helped me get going for the new Libtool testsuite (which can be found > in its CVS HEAD). actually, there is a connected question: why should one use Autotest for automated testing? Even though I like m4 and Autoconf internals, Autotest still scares me. The simple *.test files used by Automake test suite seems to be much simpler. What are the advantages of Autotest? Perhaps the Automake system is more relaxed? Does it compare stdout and stderr with the expected one? If someone knowledgable could produce a quick comparison, I'd be interested. (Noah? or someone from the team publishing under the name of Alexandre? ;-) And then there is dejagnu: what's its role here? Thanks in advance for any pointers, Stepan _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
