If unittests are enabled, make will build those as well - spotting potential build errors in the tests faster. Furthermore, this allows for the tests to be run from the top-level directory. This patch removes the "run make check to build the test suite" message since that'd pop up after every build now. If unittests are disabled, this change has no effect.

X server test suite This suite contains a set of tests to verify the behaviour of functions used internally to the server. This test suite is based on glib's testing framework [1]. = How it works = Through some automake abuse, we link the test programs with the same static libraries as the Xorg binary. The test suites can then call various functions and verify their behaviour - without the need to start the server or connect clients. This testing only works for functions that do not rely on a particular state of the X server. Unless the test suite replicates the expected state, which may be difficult. = How to run the tests = Run "make check" the test directory. This will compile the tests and execute them in the order specified in the TESTS variable in test/Makefile.am. Each set of tests related to a subsystem are available as a binary that can be executed directly. For example, run "xkb" to perform some xkb-related tests. == Adding a new test == When adding a new test, ensure that you add a short description of what the test does and what the expected outcome is. If the test reproduces a particular bug, using g_test_bug(). == Misc == The programs "gtester" and "gtester-report" may be used to generate XML/HTML log files of tests succeeded and failed. --------- [1] http://library.gnome.org/devel/glib/stable/glib-Testing.html
