r1777709 adds a --with-test-suite option for configure that allows you
to run `make && make check`, assuming you already have Apache::Test and
its dependencies installed somewhere. The major nice things here are
- you don't have to install the server to test it
- all built modules are tested, regardless of whether they will be
enabled during installation
Currently, only the Apache::Test suite is run, and not the other test
utilities such as the HTTP/2 suite (which I seem to have lost for the
moment?).
*NOTE THAT RUNNING 'make check' WILL OVERWRITE YOUR CURRENT TEST
CONFIGURATION.* Let me know if this is a problem for you.
To use it after you've synced up:
./buildconf
./configure <options> --with-test-suite=/absolute/path/to/apache/test
make
make check
I have tested this with both trunk and 2.4.x (requires resolving a
couple of easy merge conflicts). 2.2.x has some incompatibilities with
my redirection hacks, but if there is enough interest in backporting
this I can look into those too.
Give it a try! With so many ways to configure, I expect *someone* will
run into a corner case I've missed.
