This would require to change the 'check-recursive' targets not to
share the same code with the other '*-recursive' targets. I really
don't want to go there.
Totally reasonable :).
The best solution is on the user-side IMHO: fix the build system to
use less (ideally none) make recursion.
I don't know what you mean. Texinfo has several separate programs, each
with their own tests. Isn't subdirectory recursion the natural way to
do it? How else?
For that, a "screen scraping" script wrapping the 'make check' invocation
Yeah. My related idea was that his build script could run something
like
make check || echo "*** tests failed"
or whatever ...
Thanks,
