You don't need to install before running the tests. You can run the tests from right in the source tree using the makefile. Here's what I tend to do:
$ make all -j3 && make tools -j3 && make test
Does the 'make test' use the binaries that have just been created in the 'build' directory or does it use the ones from the config file's --eubin setting?
Also, what does the "-j3" switch do? I'm using wmake by the way.
"make test" uses the newly built binaries. The eubin setting only affects which interpreter is used to run the translator.
The "-j3" flag is tells GNU make that it can run 3 jobs in parallel, which speeds up the process. There is no similar flag for watcom.
