OK... Attached are two patches (please merge them into a single commit, I am just separating them as they are separate issues): - 0001 adds a missing entry in test_ddl_deparse's .gitignore. I mentioned that upthread. - 0002 redirects the installation logs into abs_top_builddir/tmp_install/log/install.log. We could redirect it only to abs_top_builddir/log/ but tmp_install is not removed after a run of a regression make target.
If I run 'make check' on an unbuilt tree, any compiler warnings emitted during the build phase now get directed into the install log. Was that intentional or a side effect?
