|

127 |
|

128 | <para>
|
---|
129 | To test the results, issue: <command>make -k check</command>. Tests for
|
---|
130 | many languages are executed, depending on which ones you have installed.
|
---|
131 | Therefore, disk space and SBU values for the tests should be considered
|
---|
132 | only indications of necessary space and time, but not even approximated
|
---|
133 | values should they be considered. If you have both <xref
|
---|
134 | linkend="python2"/> and <xref linkend="python3"/> installed, the
|
---|
135 | Python-3 tests are not run. You can run tests for Python-3 by issuing
|
---|
136 | <command>PY3=1 make check-python-examples</command> followed by
|
---|
137 | <command>PY3=1 make check-python-test-suite</command>. According to
|
---|
138 | <application>SWIG</application>'s documentation, the failure of some
|
---|
139 | tests should not be considered harmful.
