I am unsure if it is the party line answer, but I've generally written a script invoking the binary and added that script to TESTS and dist_check_SCRIPTS. For example, in https://github.com/RhysU/suzerain/blob/master/tests/test_diffwave_p3dfft.sh I want to invoke my test_diffwave_p3dfft binary several times passing in arguments. To do so I've written the test_diffwave_p3dfft.sh file and used the snippet # Filed under check_PROGRAMS so binary is built before test is executed # There must be a better way to express this dependency, but this works TESTS += test_diffwave_p3dfft.sh dist_check_SCRIPTS += test_diffwave_p3dfft.sh check_PROGRAMS += test_diffwave_p3dfft within https://github.com/RhysU/suzerain/blob/master/tests/Makefile.am. As you can tell from the comment, I suspect there's a better way to register that test_diffwave_p3dfft.sh needs test_diffwave_p3dfft.sh built first. Hope that helps, and please tell me if you find something better, Rhys _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
