Make (install from source) python without running tests

Question

I compiling python from source tar. All works good, but tests running 2 hours and two times. How to bypass these tests?

Answer 1

the default build target for optimized builds includes running the tests. to skip them, try:

 make -C dl/Python-${PYTHON_VERSION} -j8 build_all
