How to add a test in unicorn?

Asked by Kaspar Müller

I want to add a test for a class in unicorn.
I suppose the test should be added in the test folder.
How do I include it such that the test is built when I install unicorn?

So far I proceeded the way it is done for the minimal test in test/unicorn.
I also adapted the configure.ac file, such that the test can be built with the autotools.

When I run "make newtest" in the folder were newtest is located, I get the following error:

"make: *** No rule to make target `newtest.o', needed by `newtest'. Stop."

Any suggestions?

The long and boring answers is to read up on autotools...

The short answer is that you have to edit the automake files
Makefile.am, regenerate everything (regen.sh) and reconfigure.

After that, tests are automatically built using the standard make check
target.

Apparently the error was caused by a typo in the Makefile.am
