There are additional example programs in the examples directory. + + +Additional Notes on Test Suite +============================== + +By default, slow tests are disabled. Slow tests include image +comparison tests and large file tests. Image comparison tests can be +enabled by passing --enable-test-compare-images to ./configure. Large +file tests can be enabled by passing --with-large-file-test-path=path +to ./configure or by setting the LARGE_FILE_TEST_PATH environment +variable. Run ./configure --help for additional options. The test +suite provides nearly full coverage even without these tests. Unless +you are making deep changes to the library or testing this on a new +platform for the first time, there is no real reason to run these +tests. If you're just running the test suite to make sure that qpdf +works for your build, the default tests are adequate. + +If you are packaging qpdf for a distribution and preparing a build +that is run by an autobuilder, you may want to add the +--enable-show-failed-test-output to configure options. This way, if +the test suite fails, test failure detail will be included in the +build output. Otherwise, you will have to have access to the +qtest.log file from the build to view test failures. The debian +packages for qpdf enable this option, for example. diff --git a/README.maintainer b/README.maintainer index b27cabeb..9b89d88b 100644 --- a/README.maintainer +++ b/README.maintainer @@ -1,10 +1,11 @@ Release Reminders ================= - * When making a release, always remember to run large file tests. - For a major release, consider running a spelling checker over the - source code to catch errors in variable names, strings, and - comments. + * When making a release, always remember to run large file tests and + image comparison tests (--enable-test-compare-images + --with-large-file-test-path=/path).
