There doesn't seem to be any documentation on building with cmake, but I presumed that make check would work after the build.  It definitely does something, but it dies with:

Hi David,

Great news about your porting work!

I don't know anything about the cmake build system.  But since make check obviously isn't doing what you want it to, I thought it might be helpful to tell you how the test system works outside of cmake so that you might better be able to get make check working.

There's a shell script in the test directory called testit.  Running this shell script should recursively walk through the test directory running all tests it finds.  Tests that end in *.pass.cpp are expected to pass.   Tests that end in *.fail.cpp are expected to fail.  You can run testit from any subdirectory under test/ to run a subset of the suite.
