RE: XEmacs 21.5 Makefile: 'make check' should build first

Most other software (including all GNU packages I've tried to build, if you consider that a valid precedent) do have 'check' build the package if necessary so that tests can be run. So while in itself the decision doesn't matter much one way or the other, I think XEmacs should try to follow existing precedent. In other words running 'make check' on a freshly configured tree should be roughly equivalent to 'make && make check', except for better parallelization opportunities. -- Ed Avis <ed.avis(a)kbcfp.com&gt;
