[PATCH] Explain how to define $(AUTOM4TE) with Automake.


From: Benoit Sigoure
Subject: [PATCH] Explain how to define $(AUTOM4TE) with Automake.
Date: Sat, 3 Nov 2007 19:26:43 +0100

        * doc/autoconf.texi (Making testsuite Scripts): Here,
        recommend AM_MISSING_PROG when Automake is used, to generate
        `testsuite' with autom4te.

Signed-off-by: Benoit Sigoure <address@hidden>

Note that AM_MISSING_PROG is still undocumented in Automake, I'll cook another
patch so that it makes its way in the Automake manual.

+You will also need to invoke @command{autom4te} to generate the

 The @file{tests/Makefile.in} should be modified so the validation in
 your package is triggered by @samp{make check}.  An example is provided
 below.
