In regard to: Re: [oi-dev] SUnit and gmake test on OpenIndiana,...:
but for Squeak it cannot find its plugin directory when started from the build directory to load loadable plugin modules. So for Squeak as a workaround it is still necessary to run gmake install to stage the plugins to the prototype area from where they can be loaded.
That's atypical, and not really desirable behavior. Is there an environment variable that can be overridden during the test, to point squeak at the directory/directories that contain the *uninstalled* plugins?
However in the case of Squeak the 'gmake install' should be done before the 'gmake test'. That is not how the make-rules seem to be set up.
Requiring that something be "installed" (even though in this case it's being copied into a staging area for packaging) before it can be tested is backwards. The vast majority of open source software does not do that, and OI's targets are set up to assume the more common behavior of being able to test before anything has been installed.
