Tests stacked looking for "test.${EXEEXT}.txt" data

[matzeri]

Testing 2.6.1 on cygwin to allow the tests to be executed I need to
create links like: alloc_extra.exe.txt -> alloc_extra.txt

After the workaround
for i in *.txt ; do ln -s $i ${i/txt/exe.txt} ; done
the test can be run

also other tests have the same problem

• '[' -f /cygdrive/e/cyg_pub/devel/flex/flex-2.6.1-1.x86_64/src/flex-2.6.1/tests/reject.txt ']'
• '[' 0 == 1 ']'
• ./reject_ser.table.exe ././reject_ser.table.exe.tables /cygdrive/e/cyg_pub/devel/flex/flex-2.6.1-1.x86_64/src/flex-2.6.1/tests/reject.txt
  could not open tables file for reading
  FAIL reject_ser.table.exe (exit status: 2)

This happens because the test is using the executeable name to generate the input file name. On MSWindows, that is incorrect. I'll have to dig to see how to fix that.

Have a look at 854459f. I think this fixes the problem. It's not an ideal fix because automake doesn't document how to refer to an individual test by name. I can confirm that this fix doesn't break anything on my linux box; I don't have a Windows host to test on.

It fixes for a portion of the tests
Replacing also
${TESTNAME%.exe}.tables
completes the need

See 5cbe860 and let me know how that works.

[matzeri]

Same
TOTAL: 114
PASS: 114

[westes]

So all tests pass with those two changes?

[matzeri]

Correct

[westes]

THanks. I'll clean this up and get it on master, then.
