[oi-dev] SUnit and gmake test on OpenIndiana

[stes@PANDORA.BE]

Thanks for your feedback and advice regarding this issue.

It's a good suggestion to try to set BUILD_STYLE=cmake,
because Squeak uses cmake, but Squeak before switching to cmake,
used to use GNU configure (autoconf).

There is a 'configure' script which is used in my OpenIndiana component Makefile.

So the build style is 'custom configure script'.

Anyway I tried setting BUILD_STYLE and it does not change the fact that before running 'gmake test',
I have to run 'gmake build' and 'gmake install'.

This is not a big problem for me, and the nice thing is that the Sunit test results are ran and saved in
test/result-32.master

This convention to save the results in the result-<BITS>.master file is already a big help to check test results.

Thanks,
David Stes
