14.1 The libtool test suite
===========================

Libtool comes with an integrated set of tests to check that your build
is sane, that test its capabilities, and report obvious bugs in the
libtool program.  The test suite is based on Autotest from Autoconf
(*note Generating Test Suites with Autotest: (autoconf)testsuite
Invocation.).  These tests, too, are constantly evolving, based on past
problems with libtool, and known deficiencies in other operating
systems.

   As described in the ‘README’ file, you may run ‘make -k check’ after
you have built libtool (possibly before you install it) to make sure
that it meets basic functional requirements.
