1For the test_app_server to run properly on Haiku, you need to prepare a few things.
2
3There is a pseudo target "install-test-apps" which needs to be built like this:
4
5$ TARGET_PLATFORM=libbe_test jam install-test-apps
6
7This will build "test_registrar", "test_app_server", the needed libs and some test apps and install everything into "generated/tests/apps".
8
9You can use the "run" script in this folder to run the servers, as well as open the test app folder in Tracker (via the -o option), or launch specific test app(s) by specifying their name in the command line, for example "run WindowInvalidation".
10
11NOTE: it is currently necessary to prefix the starting of test_app_server with
12	LD_PRELOAD="lib/libbe_test.so"
13This is a bug that should be fixed (go for it :-), but supplying the library manually is a workaround for using test_app_server for now.
14
15Have fun!
