* tests/color2.test: (expect-make): Add an expect eof directive, so that the collected output from the spawned make program will be displayed on stdout, as desired. Since we are at it, also correctly remove a temporary file which we was trying to delete using a wrong filename. Problem introduced

[PATCH 0/5] {Automake-NG} Minor simplification to Automake testsuite, assuming GNU make

2011-12-15 Thread Stefano Lattarini
Some initial patches for Automake-NG, that simplify the testsuite in a few places by assuming that $MAKE is always GNU make. Stefano Lattarini (5): [ng] tests: no need to explicitly require GNU make [ng] tests: no need explicitly check whether $MAKE is GNU make [ng] tests: just assume make

[PATCH 1/5] {Automake-NG} tests: no need to explicitly require GNU make

2011-12-15 Thread Stefano Lattarini
Automake-NG assumes the use of GNU make unconditionally, so test cases should never require GNU make explicitly. * Makefile.am (sc_tests_no_gmake_requirement): New maintainer check. (syntax_check_rules): Add it. * tests/defs (GNUmake): Drop this requirement. * tests/colneq3.test: Drop GNUmake

{Automake-NG} mailing lists are cheap
