| 128 | <para>It is advisable to test the installation of

[78768d2] | 129 | <application>LessTif</application> using the included test suite. It is

[721f994b] | 130 | not required to install any of the resulting binaries to validate the

---|
[78768d2] | 131 | installation. Issue the following commands to build the test suite:</para>

[78768d2] | 142 | <para>You'll need to manually close three of the test windows. The first one

|
---|
| 145 | <command>test10</command> in the
|
---|
| 146 | <filename class='directory'>menushell</filename> directory. You should click
|
---|
| 147 | on the button in the window and choose <quote>exit</quote> (do it twice) to
|
---|
| 148 | finish the test. The third test is from <command>test24</command> in the

|

| 151 | <para>As many as 100 tests are known to fail. The patch applied at the

| 152 | beginning of the installation created a file used to compare known failures
|

| 153 | to the failures from the test run. This file was created from an installation
|
---|
| 154 | using the current <acronym>LFS</acronym> book and should be a fairly accurate
|

| 155 | representation of the failures you'll encounter. You could see some minor
