The following works for me: $ ./autogen.sh $ cd /tmp/build $ $OLDPWD/configure --sysconfdir=/etc --with-zlib && make -j10 check You really need the --sysconfdir=/etc and --with-zlib otherwise some tests will fail. These are the flags we pass to distcheck, that also builds out of tree (but in an inner directory) > cp -r $(ROOTFS_PRISTINE) $(ROOTFS) && \ > touch testsuite/stamp-rootfs && \ > find $(ROOTFS) -type d -exec chmod +w {} \; ) > @@ -217,6 +217,9 @@ DISTCHECK_CONFIGURE_FLAGS=--enable-gtk-doc --sysconfdir=/etc --with-zlib > > distclean-local: $(DISTCLEAN_LOCAL_HOOKS) > > +buildtest-TESTS: > + $(MAKE) $(AM_MAKEFLAGS) $(check_LTLIBRARIES) $(check_PROGRAMS) > + Makes sense. Splitting the patch would be good.
