They are command-line options, just not the options passed to the "make" command line. > Q: Are there other ways to pass options to a test driver? I've never used the custom driver feature of Automake and all I know comes from reading the manual. Section 15.3.2 "Declaring Custom Test Drivers" appears to explain how to specify a custom test driver to use. > Q: How can you select one of perhaps many, test drivers? > Q: If there are many test drivers how can you select many, but not all, of > them, "make [options] driver1 driver2 check"? > >From what I can see it would be something like "LOG_DRIVER=driver1 make check" to override the test driver to use. I don't think there's any way of using more than one at once.
