I do that using an testsuite.at.in that generates a testsuite.at from
autoconf (my nagios-ldap work, for example):
configure.in:
...
AC_CONFIG_TESTDIR([tests-autotest])
...
AC_SUBST(NAGIOS)
...
AC_OUTPUT(Makefile
...
tests-autotest/Makefile tests-autotest/atlocal tests-autotest/testsuite.at
)
tests-autotest/testsuite.at.in:
...
AT_CHECK([@NAGIOS@ --version], 0, [ignore],[ignore])
...
In a similar fashion, you might use your ${abs_builddir} to refer to
${abs_builddir}/src/<something> by including a generated atlocal (which is
empty in my current iteration).
