We currently only do integral tests that require `make install`. In fact, one of the goals of our test suite is to be independently used to test any MPI implementations....

@brianjmurrell So the goal here is to make an rpm package for ROMIO tests?

For the tests, all it requires is a working `mpicc`, which implies a working `libmpi.so`. We use `mpicc` to cope with library dependency, which can be quite complex due to...

The direction has been moved toward always build testsuite after installing mpich. In fact, we have made the testsuite a stand-alone package (https://github.com/pmodels/mpich/pull/5067, https://www.mpich.org/downloads/). There is a separate `make check`...

@brianjmurrell I am still a bit unclear on the goal of this issue. Is the purpose to run verification (`make check`) during build, or is it to build package of...

We have made the mpich testsuite stand-alone already. I am going to close this issue and open new one for "porting the romio tests to testsuite".

How old is too old? We should investigate and potentially update the version check in autogen.sh. A side note, since our scripts are not updated with autoconf 2.70 yet, we...

``` mpicc -o file_info file_info.c && mpirun -n 2 ./file_info -fname tmp.txt No Errors ``` Looks like it has been fixed?

Oh, this is about `src/mpi/romio/test/file_info.c`
