Hm ... definitely no temp installation creation happening there :-(
Looking at the make code that should be invoking this, I'm guessing
that you must be hitting one of the "if" conditions that prevent the
rule from being executed:
check: temp-install
.PHONY: temp-install
temp-install:
ifndef NO_TEMP_INSTALL
ifneq ($(abs_top_builddir),)
ifeq ($(MAKELEVEL),0)
rm -rf '$(abs_top_builddir)'/tmp_install
$(MKDIR_P) '$(abs_top_builddir)'/tmp_install/log
$(MAKE) -C '$(top_builddir)' DESTDIR='$(abs_top_builddir)'/tmp_install install
>'$(abs_top_builddir)'/tmp_install/log/install.log2>&1
endif
$(if $(EXTRA_INSTALL),for extra in $(EXTRA_INSTALL); do $(MAKE) -C '$(top_builddir)'/$$extra
DESTDIR='$(abs_top_builddir)'/tmp_installinstall >>'$(abs_top_builddir)'/tmp_install/log/install.log || exit; done)
endif
endif
The most likely bet is that the MAKELEVEL condition is firing,
perhaps because you're invoking "make check" from some makefile of
your own rather than by hand. If so, you could try doing this:
unset MAKELEVEL && make check
