as you mentioned the -DTESTS=On I got the idea to mimic what configure and
build stage do
in the test stage, and enable the tests. It finally built them, but still
didn't ran them. But then
I stumbled upon ctest, calling this at the end of test stage, was the
missing piece.
5 out of 98 tests fail. I used same approach with older version, but there
all test fail (subprocess aborted).
I run this since weeks, but didn't experience any trouble yet, even with
those 5 filed tests.
Updated diff attached.
