Install Epiphany by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/usr && make
Now, as the root user:
make install
An already active graphical session with bus address is necessary to execute the test suite. Some sub-tests need a GNOME session, otherwise, they fails. Other tests print error messages, which are ignored and they are tagged "OK". To test the results, removing the failing ones, issue:
sed -e '/embed\/ephy-download\/start/{N;N;d}' \
-i tests/ephy-download-test.c &&
sed -e '/embed\/ephy-embed-shell\/launch_handler/{N;N;d}' \
-i tests/ephy-embed-shell-test.c &&
make check
