While trying to debug a failure of virpcitest during 'make distcheck',
I noticed that with a VPATH build, 'cd tests; ./virpcitest' fails for
an entirely different reason. To reproduce the distcheck failure, I
had to run 'cd tests; abs_srcdir=/path/to/src ./virpcitest'. But we
document in HACKING that all of our tests are supposed to be runnable
without requiring extra environment variables.
The solution: hardcode the location of srcdir into the just-built
binaries, rather than requiring make to prepopulate environment
variables. With this, './virpcitest' passes even in a VPATH build
(provided that $(srcdir) is writable; a followup patch will fix the
conditions required by 'make distcheck'). [Note: the makefile must
still pass on directory variables to the test environment of shell
scripts, since those aren't compiled. So while this solves the case
of a compiled test, it still requires environment variables to pass
a VPATH build of any shell script test case that relies on srcdir.]
* tests/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): Define abs_srcdir in all compiled
tests.
* tests/testutils.h (abs_srcdir): Quit declaring.
* tests/testutils.c (virtTestMain): Rely on define rather than
environment variable.
* tests/virpcimock.c (pci_device_new_from_stub): Rely on define.
* tests/cputest.c (mymain): Adjust abs_top_srcdir default.
* tests/qemuxml2argvtest.c (mymain): Likewise.
* tests/qemuxmlnstest.c (mymain): Likewise.
