test runner: work correctly in VPATH setups Due to a "feature" of AC_CONFIG_FILES, because 't/ax/test-runner.in' is in a subdirectory, the '@srcdir@' value that is AC_SUBST'd in it gets tweaked to contain as much '..' components as are the directory components of 't/ax/test-runner'. Because our build system operates in a non-recursive setup, this substitution is wrong; for example, the final 't/ax/test-runner' build in a VPATH builds where the source directory is ".." contains the line: : ${srcdir='../../../t/ax'} instead of the expected (and correct): : ${srcdir='../t/ax'} We solve the issue by building 't/ax/test-runner' with a Makefile recipe instead of config.status substitutions; this is already done for other testsuite-related files, like 'defs-static'. * configure.ac (AC_CONFIG_FILES): Don't build 't/ax/test-runner' anymore. * Makefile.am (t/ax/test-runner): New rule. (EXTRA_DIST): Add 't/ax/test-runner.in'. (CLEANFILES, noinst_SCRIPTS): Add 't/ax/test-runner'. Signed-off-by: Stefano Lattarini <stefano.lattarini@gmail.com>
