PATCH 1/1 Obtain proper prefix for testsuite build

Hello list,

Currently, Xenomai/SOLO comes with testsuite for VxWorks emulation.
The path to Xenomai/SOLO installation is fixed. The patch attempts to obtain the proper prefix during build process.

Regards,

This won't work if you build out of the source tree like autoconf/automake recommend, since it won't find the instantiated Makefile in the upper directory. We could use an autoconf template to patch the prefix into testsuite/Makefile.in, but the testsuite/ directory is meant to be movable and compilable anywhere the user sees fit. This is basically why the Makefile has not been autoconfiscated in the first place.

I guess we will have to leave with the "set your Xenomai install directory for scripts and binaries in your PATH variable" rule. I have removed the absolute SOLO prefix from the Makefile though, it was a left over from my development environment.

Thanks for spotting this.

hi Philippe,

Indeed. It was just my dirty hack. Thanks for pointing out the details.

Good instructions. :-)
