Ah - you just want to run a smaller set of tests, and faster than
running all of the 'make unittest' changes in master ?

Sorry for the late response ... in short, exactly. More specifically, I wish there were a way to run exactly and only one test (i.e. a single ::testFunction()). Instead, they're currently bundled together in various files such that I can do what Stephan suggested ($ make /path/to/test.test). I would find it helpful if in the development cycle, there were a way to run just what I want to run, to finer granularity than a file.

As already pointed out to me, this is currently time-infeasible for the common use case that compiles the whole project (given that each test would have to be _individually_ linked and executed); regardless, all I really wanted was a howto for my own personal machine in terms of the boiler plate I was apparently missing to accomplish this for the tests and LO code on which I'm currently working. Having this would enable me to drastically reduce my compile wait time. On my old hardware, that translates a 15-20s turnaround time about 3-4s.

Thus, commenting out was suggested, and is currently what I'm working with.

Thanks,

Kevin
