Re: [Ctags-devel] how to run the regression tests

[Darren H. <dhi...@us...>]

The problems have more to do with the fact that the developer  
makefile in use for ctags was based upon my own Linux-based  
environment. For example, it contains targets that still use CVS to  
make releases, as well as one of the tests was generating tags for  
the Linux kernel tree, which was assumed to be where it is placed on  
Fedora Linux.

I didn't mean building universal binaries, since I don't distribute  
any (or at least haven't until now).

And, oh, how I wish that valgrind was ported to the Mac! I see that  
its web site lists it as high priority to do so (for the Intel Mac).  
Maybe I need to build support for linking against dmalloc into the  
Makefile for those developer not on Linux.
