Gilles Espinasse 53b253b75a skip kill test too if running runtest
I find more readable instead of make check to run
cd testsuite && make site.exp && DEJAGNU=global-conf.exp runtest

But in that case, kill.exp was still trying to run with
ERROR: tcl error sourcing ./kill.test/kill.exp.
ERROR: couldn't execute "/usr/src/procps-ng-3.3.7/kill": no such file or
directory
...

Simply return from test if kill is not build

How to use check suite
----------------------

You need DejaGNU package.  Assuming you have it all you need to do is

make check


Something failed now what
-------------------------

First determine what did not work.  If only one check failed you can
run it individually in debugging mode.  For example

runtest -a -de -v w.test/w.exp
Expect binary is /usr/bin/expect
Using /usr/share/dejagnu/runtest.exp as main test driver
[...]

Do not bother capturing screen output, it is in testrun.log which
test suite generated.

$ ls  testrun.* dbg.log
dbg.log  testrun.log  testrun.sum

The reason why test failed should be in dbg.log.  Assuming you
figured out the reason you could write a patch fixing w.test/w.exp
and send it to upstream.

If you do not know how, or have time, to fix the issue create tar.gz
file containing test run logs and submit it to upstream maintainers.
Notice that in later case upstream sometimes has to ask clarifying
questions about environment where problem occurred.
