The impatient tester will build libisoburn according to its README and then do

More patient testers will first read the following description.
Those who simply lack the interpreter /bin/bash, may do
./change_shell_to_use
and then retry.
The test suite
+++ introduce the test suite,
Directory ./releng of libisoburn contains a collection of test scripts and
auxiliary data. They exercise some typical use cases of building libisoburn
applications and running the ISO 9660 filesystem manipulation and CD/DVD/BD
burn program xorriso.
+++ inform about resource needs,
It is assumed that libburn and libisofs are installed, so that libisoburn
can be configured and built. It is not mandatory that libisoburn is already
installed. The tests may use an installed xorriso program as well as a
freshly built one.
>>> Do we really need to be glued to bash ?
The test scripts explicitely demand /bin/bash as interpreter, although they
would run on certain other shells too. If you get an error message like
./run_all_auto: not found
then consider to install /bin/bash.
If you decide against that, see below "Alternative Shells".

Creating a new test script
Alternative Shells
+++ * DELIVERING A NEW TEST SCRIPT
+++ + Start a new test script over the top of template_new_releng
+++ + Each completed script starts with auto_ or manual_ prefix
If you decided against installing /bin/bash, you may try to use your
current $SHELL by running
./change_shell_to_use
which will modify the test scripts named run_all_auto , auto_* ,manual_*.
Known to be suitable are the following shells
GNU/Linux: /bin/bash
FreeBSD 8: /bin/sh
Solaris: /bin/bash , /bin/i86/ksh93
The script does not choose an interpreter explicitely and is safe to be run
inline:
. ./change_shell_to_use
One may set any interpreter path by runnung a sub shell and changing its
variable SHELL. E.g. by:
( SHELL=/bin/my_shell" ; . ./change_shell_to_use )
