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

129 | <application>LessTif</application> using the included test suite. It is
|
---|
130 | not required to install any of the resulting binaries to validate the
|
---|
131 | installation. Issue the following commands to build the test suite:</para>
|
---|
132 |
|
---|
133 | <screen><userinput><command>cd test &&
|
---|
134 | ./configure &&

140 | ./testall *</command></userinput></screen>
|

141 |

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

143 | is from <command>test28</command> in the

144 | <filename class='directory'>list</filename> directory. The second one is from
|
---|
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
|
---|
149 | <filename class='directory'>scrolledwindow</filename> directory.</para>
|
---|
150 |
|
---|
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
|
---|
156 | variances, however.</para>
