[Dune-devel] tests with return code 77

[Christoph Grüninger]

Hi,
return code 77 indicates that the test was skipped [1], not an expected
failure. To my knowledge there is no other way to indicate with automake
that a test is skipped.
I think this is a necessary feature because it is a hint of a not
sufficient configuration. I run make check before most of my commits and
if tests are skipped, I think whether I have to re-run make check or
whether it should not matter.

Bye
Christoph
