I said I would like to learn how. I still can't get `make check` or `make distcheck` to run here, and from the look of the output, things just got worse. So, I'm going to need some help and guidance.
'make check' and 'make distcheck' are completely separate beasts. I have posted a link to a non-specialist page about distcheck, and I wouldn't treat this as a priority item if we have humans to check that the source tarballs are sane. (Obviously it makes sense to automate this as soon practical, but this is not essential until we reach release candidate stage when there will not be time to do this by hand, nor room for manoeuvre, far less error).
'make check' works for me at the moment: $ make -sC Panther check | wc -l gives 230 including the line: All 19 tests passed, and $ time make -sC Panther check gives real 6m33.930s user 1m44.090s sys 0m6.110s
Are you having problems with the test harness, the extra code that make check runs or do you think that you are seeing actual errors in the Inkscape corpus itself?
