[petsc-dev] this is INCORRECT make [-j <n>] -f share/petsc/examples/gmakefile test

[Barry Smith]

  Probably most of the gmakefile in that file should be gmakefile.test 


  Probably 

To check if the libraries are working do:

make PETSC_DIR=<PETSC_DIR> PETSC_ARCH=<PETSC_ARCH> test

it is meant to be "check" here not test.

Page should also note that alltests does not work on --prefix installs?

arch-ci-linux-opt-misc.py uses --prefix  how are the tests run for it in the CI?  Does it use allgtests-tap, how?   I cannot see how that particular job turns off testing? Or how it could locate allgtests-tap
