PSPP-BUG: [bug #66530] test fail mostly on ASCII/strings and tables dimensions maybe due to greek language used

[elias tsolis]

Follow-up Comment #15, bug #66530 (group pspp):

My wrong doing - i feel ashamed!

i must run  "make check". However, i thought this tests the installation and
not the PSPP syntax or PSPP functionalities.

You refer to INSTALL
"Optionally, type `make check' to run the self-tests that come
     with the package.  If any of the self-tests fail, please mail"

Nowhere it refer to "testsuite", or to "PSPP syntax test" or "PSPP
functionalities". Also to README file is included in tests folder. 

I propose the followings

a) tests folder must be renamed as pspp_syntax_tests or 
syntax_tests. This is much better understood. 

b) a readme file inside syntax_tests that will explain how to compile them and
run them. I think an independent make file that can run inside the
syntax_tests folder will be ideal. 

c) A better explanation for each test - what the user must look if an error
appear.


After compiling them the results were fine:

1620 tests were successful.
15 tests were skipped.
