Controls whether the installCheck phase is executed. By default it is
skipped, but if <varname>doInstallCheck</varname> is set to true, the
installCheck phase is usually executed. Thus you should set
<programlisting>doInstallCheck = true;</programlisting>
<programlisting>doInstallCheck = true;</programlisting>
in the derivation to enable install checks. The exception is cross
compilation. Cross compiled builds never run tests, no matter how
<varname>doInstallCheck</varname> is set, as the newly-built program
won't run on the platform used to build it.
