Subject: bug#15933: make check not working
Date: Wed, 20 Nov 2013 12:55:09 +0000

Hi,

Running 'make check' does not work correctly for me with bzr r115157 on
Windows with mingw and and out of tree build directory:

--[make check]------------------------------------------------------
Compiling ../../../test/automated/package-x-test.el

In toplevel form:
../../../test/automated/package-x-test.el:38:30:Error: Cannot open load file: no such file or directory, package-test
make[2]: *** [../../../test/automated/package-x-test.elc] Error 1
--[make check]------------------------------------------------------

It seems that the recent changes for relative paths and msys
translations have not been added to tests/automated/Makefile.in. The
following patch copies the new behaviour from lisp/Makefile.in and
allowed the tests to build and run (one test aborts emacs, for other
reasons).
