Re: Wrong link option given to g++

[John Calcote]

Hi Arthur,

Look carefully at your configure.ac file or any scripts calling your 
makefile. See if you find anyone setting CFLAGS, CPPFLAGS, etc on the 
way in. They maybe adding -c (erroneously) to these variables.

To answer your question, the TEST macro should be completely independent 
of the check programs being built - it merely specifies which 
scripts/programs to run when tests are actually executed.

Regards,
John
