Hi, GNU bison is using autotest with 'make maintainer-check' and that works fine. at failed test lines appear like: ./regression.at:941: $CXX $CXXFLAGS $CPPFLAGS $LDFLAGS -o dancer dancer.cc $LIBS is it possible to have the $CXX etc. expanded to 'g++' in the output or needs that change to autotest? here is some sample output from bison with 2 failed tests: ## ------------------------ ## ## Summary of the failures. ## ## ------------------------ ## Failed tests: GNU Bison 2.4.471-d6e4 test suite test groups: NUM: FILE-NAME:LINE TEST-GROUP-NAME KEYWORDS 239: regression.at:941 Dancer %skeleton "lalr1.cc" c++ 242: regression.at:1037 Expecting two tokens %skeleton "lalr1.cc" c++ ## ---------------------- ## ## Detailed failed tests. ## ## ---------------------- ## # -*- compilation -*- 239. regression.at:941: testing ... ./regression.at:941: bison -o dancer.c dancer.y ./regression.at:941: bison -o dancer.cc dancer.y ./regression.at:941: $BISON_CXX_WORKS stderr: stdout: ./regression.at:941: $CXX $CXXFLAGS $CPPFLAGS $LDFLAGS -o dancer dancer.cc $LIBS stderr: dancer.y: In function 'int yylex(int*)': dancer.y:85: error: 'abort' was not declared in this scope stdout: ./regression.at:941: exit code was 1, expected 0 239. regression.at:941: 239.
