[Octave-bug-tracker] [bug #41298] pkg install: automatically extract %!tests and install both extracted and fixed test files

[John Donoghue]

Follow-up Comment #17, bug #41298 (project octave):

Works on dicom that  has .cpp files with tests, zeromq which has .cc files
with tests.


On instrument control, which doesnt have any source files in the main src
directory I get:
error: structure has no member 'name'
error: called from
    configure_make at line 99 column 8
    install at line 190 column 7
    pkg at line 480 column 9

-> need to check whether there any  files before iterating the file.name 


Note that instrument control has no sources in the base src directory.


statistics also has a source directory, but doesnt have source files in it -
it just runs configure so work out what needs be installed, so the empty check
would be needed there as well.


In the case of instrument control, it does create a generated .cc file with
all the package adds in it (since pkg install doesnt install from sub dirs) so
perhaps the test extraction should go after the make  ? That way if anyone has
generated sources with tests in them, they would get installed ??
