[neomutt-devel] Building and running tests

[Filippo Bonazzi]

Hi,

I am trying to build and run tests as part of the neomutt build for openSUSE
Tumbleweed on OBS [0].

I thought it would be as easy as adding this in the spec file:
> %check
> %make_build test
as sort of described on [1], but this fails to compile with a few errors like
this one:

> [   33s] ccache cc -O2 -Wall -U_FORTIFY_SOURCE -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=3 -fstack-protector-strong -funwind-tables -fasynchronous-unwind-tables -fstack-clash-protection -Werror=return-type -flto=auto -g -std=c11 -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks -D_ALL_SOURCE=1 -D_GNU_SOURCE=1 -D__EXTENSIONS__ -D_XOPEN_SOURCE_EXTENDED -I/usr/include/lua5.4 -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -I/usr/include -DNCURSES_WIDECHAR -I/usr/include -I/usr/include/p11-kit-1 -I/usr/include -O2 -I. -I. -Wall  -I./test -MT test/color/ansi.o -MD -MP -MF test/color/ansi.Tpo -c -o test/color/ansi.o test/color/ansi.c

I tried compiling manually with ./configure and make test and I get the same
errors.

Is there something obvious I'm missing? Are these not the right tests to run?
I checked a couple of other distros and they are not running these tests as
part of their build, so maybe I'm the one doing something wrong.

Thank you,

Filippo
