Re: Cannot build QA tests using the supplied make files

[Nigel Daley <nd...@mac.com>]

Brian, thanks for this fix and the README!

I've now setup Hudson to build the qatests and run a category of  
tests (joinmanager) which takes about 1 hour.  We should really come  
up with a category of smoke tests that can be run with each checkin  
by Hudson.  In the meantime feel free to suggest a different existing  
category of tests.

Also, I've switch Hudson to be true CI for River.  It will now check  
for SVN changes every 15 minutes and build/test if there are changes.

Cheers,
Nige
