make install fails complaining that some manpage is already present when linking the file (older version installed). A fix is to add -f to ln's flags in the Makefile:

Sorry, no real understanding of the autoconf mess to know how to really fix this.

The readme features the following build instructions:

You can build C TAP Harness and run its internal test suite with:

 ./configure
 make
 make check

This does not work because there is no configure file in the project. If I use the build steps of:

autoreconf -vif
./configure
make

Then the build fails with the following error message:

make: *** No rule to make target docs/api/bail.3', needed by all-am'. Stop.

I have forked this project and added a dockerfile which demonstrates this issue. You can find that here. Building the docker image will fail and the error will be displayed.

I created a single test within my TESTS list file and commented it out:

# example

This causes the program to crash. I fixed this in the code by modifying read_test_list(...) to return NULL when no testset structures have been populated.
