Run the following on at least one SELinux-enabled (enforcing) and
one non-SELinux system:
make distcheck
make -j1 check RUN_VERY_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes
sudo env PATH="$PATH" NON_ROOT_USERNAME=$USER make -k check-root
n=$(( ($(nproc) + 1) / 2 ))
sudo env PATH="$PATH" NON_ROOT_USERNAME=$USER make -k -j$(nproc) check-root\
&& make distcheck \
&& make -j$n check RUN_VERY_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes
Note the -j1 above. If you use -jN, for larger N, some of the expensive
tests are likely to interfere with concurrent performance-measuring or
timing-sensitive tests, resulting in spurious failures.
Note that the use of -j$n tells make to use approximately half of the
available processing units. If you use -jN, for larger N, some of the
expensive tests are likely to interfere with concurrent performance-measuring
or timing-sensitive tests, resulting in spurious failures.
If "make distcheck" doesn't run "make syntax-check" for you, then run
it manually:
