bug#14337: Nothing to be done for `base.log'.
It's taken me a few hours to unwind all this stuff, but the bottom line seems to be that make check doesn't think it needs to do anything to make the test log file. Googling for: making test-suite.log: failed to create log nothing to be done for did not yield any useful hints. Help, please? === $ make check [.] bash make base.log make[3]: Entering directory `/u/bkorb/ag/mypw/mypw-0.1-dev11/_build/tests' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `base.log'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/u/bkorb/ag/mypw/mypw-0.1-dev11/_build/tests' bash am__dry=no bash case $MAKEFLAGS in bash for am__flg in '$MAKEFLAGS' bash case $am__flg in bash for am__flg in '$MAKEFLAGS' bash case $am__flg in bash for am__flg in '$MAKEFLAGS' bash case $am__flg in bash test no = yes bash st=0 bash errmsg='fatal: making test-suite.log: failed to create' bash for i in '$redo_bases' bash test -f base.trs bash echo 'fatal: making test-suite.log: failed to create base.trs' fatal: making test-suite.log: failed to create base.trs bash st=1 bash test -f base.log bash echo 'fatal: making test-suite.log: failed to create base.log' fatal: making test-suite.log: failed to create base.log bash st=1 bash test 1 -eq 0 bash exit 1 make[2]: *** [test-suite.log] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/u/bkorb/ag/mypw/mypw-0.1-dev11/_build/tests' make[1]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/u/bkorb/ag/mypw/mypw-0.1-dev11/_build/tests' = Makefile.am: TESTS = base.test TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = builddir=`pwd`

P.S. this only happens for srcdir != builddir builds and the xtrace output below is triggered by manually inserting set -x into the $(TEST_SUITE_LOG): rule. === $ make check [.] bash make base.log make[3]: Entering directory `/u/bkorb/ag/mypw/mypw-0.1-dev11/_build/tests' make[3]: Nothing to be done for `base.log'. make[3]: Leaving directory `/u/bkorb/ag/mypw/mypw-0.1-dev11/_build/tests' bash am__dry=no bash case $MAKEFLAGS in bash for am__flg in '$MAKEFLAGS' bash case $am__flg in bash for am__flg in '$MAKEFLAGS' bash case $am__flg in bash for am__flg in '$MAKEFLAGS' bash case $am__flg in bash test no = yes bash st=0 bash errmsg='fatal: making test-suite.log: failed to create' bash for i in '$redo_bases' bash test -f base.trs bash echo 'fatal: making test-suite.log: failed to create base.trs' fatal: making test-suite.log: failed to create base.trs bash st=1 bash test -f base.log bash echo 'fatal: making test-suite.log: failed to create base.log' fatal: making test-suite.log: failed to create base.log bash st=1 bash test 1 -eq 0 bash exit 1 make[2]: *** [test-suite.log] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/u/bkorb/ag/mypw/mypw-0.1-dev11/_build/tests' make[1]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/u/bkorb/ag/mypw/mypw-0.1-dev11/_build/tests' = Makefile.am: TESTS = base.test TESTS_ENVIRONMENT = builddir=`pwd`
