Hi Everyone,
I'm building c-ares 1.16.1 from sources. This caught my eye:
$ ./configure --help
`configure' configures c-ares 1.16.1 ...
...
--enable-tests build test suite
I believe the self tests should be available by default. Users should
not have to do anything special to get them. Maybe a better option
would be --disable-tests.
According to the GNU Coding Standard
(https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Standard-Targets.html),
'make check' should build and execute the self tests. This is how most
packages work. This should work out of the box without the need for
additional options:
./configure ...
make
make check
sudo make install
I realize you may not follow the GNU Coding Standard. But 'make check'
should always work.
