The parallel test harness doesn't seem to like conditional tests.
I get the following output using the attached configure.ac and Makefile.am:
$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking whether make supports nested variables... yes
checking that generated files are newer than configure... done
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating pet_test.sh
$ make check
make check-TESTS

This is with automake 1.13.1 and autoconf 2.68.
The same input works fine with automake 1.11.3:
$ ./configure
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
configure: creating ./config.status
config.status: creating Makefile
config.status: creating pet_test.sh
$ make check
make check-TESTS
make[1]: Entering directory `/tmp/pet-0.03'
PASS: pet_test.sh
=============
1 test passed
=============
make[1]: Leaving directory `/tmp/pet-0.03'
Is it no longer allowed to have conditional tests as in
TESTS = @extra_tests@
EXTRA_TESTS = pet_test.sh
or is anything missing from my input?
Thanks in advance,
