The benefit of compiling the tests, but having them exit status 77 is that it means automake test harness then clearly reports which tests are being skipped on each platform. If we do conditionals in the makefile, them skipped tests are invisible - they just disappear entirely from output. So I prefer that we use the exit status 77 Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :| -- libvir-list mailing list libvir-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/libvir-list
