Subject: tests: check if 'compress' is real or fake
X-Git-Tag: v1.11b~173
X-Git-Url: http://review.tizen.org/git/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9dfdc96a81f384d8cbfb9d87212db1aec0a22d25;p=platform%2Fupstream%2Fautomake.git

tests: check if 'compress' is real or fake

On Cygwin, 'compress' is provided by sharutils and is just a
dummy script that is not able to actually compress (it can
only decompress).  This fake 'compress' is not usable for
our purpose - to create compressed tarballs.

* tests/dist-formats.tap (missing_compressors): Count 'compress'
as missing if it does not support the -c option.
