RE: 'make check' lacking dependencies

I imagine the right way would be the way you configured; the same way that happens when you do 'make all'. Of course if xemacs is already up to date it will not be rebuilt, so if you wanted to build it in some way different to your ./configure options you could do that first before 'make check' (as now). If you think that things should not be built in order to run the test suite then fair enough, but perhaps in that case the test suite should not be invoked using 'make', since when using 'make' the expectation is that all prerequisites will be made automatically before going on to make the target. -- Ed Avis <avised(a)kbcfp.com&gt;
