Re: [pdf-devel] Build Error - unit test cases

[Pablo Vasquez]

In fact this isn't the main issue in the mail I mentioned. I wasn't
talking about the errors I got. I was talking about something Jose
said there.
In that mail  Jose says:

>The compilation of the unit tests fails when compiling
>torture/unit/base/stm/pdf-stm-write.c, due to the usage of check
>fixtures introduced by a recent patch.  Currently nocheck is not
>supporting fixtures.

And then comes some talking about check and nocheck.
Please read the mail again.
Sorry if I wasn't clear enough.

Pablo.
