Sounds ok to me. If the tool installs binaries somewhere to the $PATH you just have to assert that these are installed. For bash code there is tst_check_cmds function. For C code you can probably use tst_get_path(). In short make sure that the test exits louldy if these are not installed and point the user to a README in the message. -- Cyril Hrubis chru...@suse.cz ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download BIRT iHub F-Type - The Free Enterprise-Grade BIRT Server from Actuate!
