I ran:
cd tests/
make check
and that particular check failed. I figure this isn't supported then?
No, that should work fine.
I've confirmed that it works for me, in a $srcdir build.
Now trying a non-srcdir build... Yep, that works, too.
Can you debug it?
E.g., echo "$PATH" from within the script and figure
out why it doesn't include $$abs_top_builddir/qemud.
Are you using modern versions of automake, autoconf, etc.?
It works for all other tests and it works for daemon-conf with the
patch
I attached so it should probably be applied to make things a bit more
newbie robust?
