Fails to compile: can't locate t/test-prep.pl, test errors

[plantarum]

Hi,

I've cloned your repo and attempted to build with:

make

This fails with the following messages at the end of the run:

Makefile:57: recipe for target 'check' failed

test-prep.pl is present in the t/ directory of the repository, and I'm running make from the root directory of the repository.

I'm running on:

Linux 4.7.0-1-amd64 #1 SMP Debian 4.7.8-1 (2016-10-19) x86_64 GNU/Linux
libgsl-dev 2.2.1+dfsg-1

Thanks for any suggestions!

As a workaround, changing the require lines in the test files t/multx.t, t/join.t, t/mcf.t from

require (dirname(__FILE__) . "/test-prep.pl");

to

require "/path/to/test-prep.pl"

Seems to work. I don't know anything about perl or prove, so I don't know why this is the case. I'm using:

This is perl 5, version 24, subversion 1 (v5.24.1) built for x86_64-linux-gnu-thread-multi

Perfect this worked for me too!

I just had to add a semicolon at the end.
