Here is a brief illustration of the issue: $ cat > Makefile.am <<'END' AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = foreign parallel-tests -Wall -Werror TEST_LOG_COMPILER = false TESTS = foo.test bar.test END $ touch foo.test bar.test $ autoreconf -vi && ./configure ...
$ freebsd-make -j2 check; echo %% STATUS = $? %% freebsd-make check-TESTS FAIL: foo.test FAIL: bar.test ==================== 2 of 2 tests failed See ./test-suite.log ==================== %% STATUS = 0 %% It works as expected with GNU make and NetBSD make though: $ gmake -j2 check; echo %% STATUS = $? %% gmake check-TESTS gmake[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/...' gmake[2]: Entering directory `/tmp/...' FAIL: foo.test FAIL: bar.test ==================== 2 of 2 tests failed See ./test-suite.log ==================== gmake[2]: *** [test-suite.log] Error 1 gmake[2]: Leaving directory `/tmp/...' gmake[1]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 2 gmake[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/...' gmake: *** [check-am] Error 2 %% STATUS = 2 %% $ netbsd-make -j2 check; echo %% STATUS = $? %% --- check-am --- netbsd-make check-TESTS --- check-TESTS --- --- foo.log --- --- bar.log --- FAIL: bar.test --- foo.log --- FAIL: foo.test --- test-suite.log --- ==================== 2 of 2 tests failed See ./test-suite.log ==================== *** [test-suite.log] Error code 1 1 error netbsd-make: stopped in /tmp/... *** [check-TESTS] Error code 2 1 error netbsd-make: stopped in /tmp/... *** [check-am] Error code 2 1 error netbsd-make: stopped in /tmp/... %% STATUS = 2 %% The problem is present both in automake 1.11.1 and in the developement version from the 'test-protocols' branch.
