versions: automake (GNU automake) 1.7.2
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.57
When I did `make check' I had the following results with the lex test scripts:
PASS: lex.test
PASS: lex2.test
FAIL: lex3.test
PASS: lex4.test
FAIL: lex5.test
So after checking into why lex3.test failed I noticed the following tests
discovered by `configure'
checking for flex... no
checking for lex... no
It turns out that lex.yy.c and foo.c get created when make is run (by
`missing'), so the test carries on to its inevitable failure. I guess I was
expecting the tests to be neither PASS nor FAIL, but SKIP (after all it did
correctly detect that these programs aren't there).
Thanks for automake! It's been a great tool.
