There's also an install phase which would be good to test. Here
are instructions from our web

Testing a "build install" operation

Testing a "build install" operation
General
Note that, while this description applies generally to most of the commands part of the OS build
tree, it also applies to the kernel, but you must be at the top of the src/kernel tree to do the
install. This does not apply to the X build.
Within ODE-II, developers have access to the release areas referred to in the ODE-II Developers
User Guide. The release areas are used for both installations and updates. In the ODE-II
Developers User Guide, this release area is under the directory release. In the DEC OSF/1 project,
the release area is in the directory output.
In the DEC OSF/1 release area, output, no machine/operating system-dependent directories are
currently used.
Examples
Below is an example, which can be run within any directory in the src tree of a sandbox, for
running a test of the install phase of a build, local to your private sandbox. Note that the TOSTAGE
variable must be a full path; dot-relative paths are not allowed here.
% workon -sb sandbox set
% mkdir path_to_sandbox_dir/output
% su root
# cd to required directory in src tree of sandbox
# build -rc ~username/.sandboxrc \
'TOSTAGE=path_to_sandbox_dir/output' install_all
An alternative way to set this up is as follows, defining TOSTAGE in the environment:
% workon -sb sandbox set
% setenv TOSTAGE target_path
(where eg. target_path = path_to_sandbox_dir/output)
% mkdir -p $TOSTAGE
% su root
# cd to required directory in src tree of sandbox
# build -rc ~username/.sandboxrc install_all
Finally, another alternative way to set this up is as follows, setting root's /.sandboxrc file to be the
same as your own, via a link (this eliminates the need for the -rc argument):
% workon -sb sandbox set
% setenv TOSTAGE target_path
(where eg. target_path = path_to_sandbox_dir/output, or
or eg. target_path = /tmp/testing)
% mkdir -p $TOSTAGE
% su root
# ln -s ~user/.sandboxrc /
# cd to required directory in src tree of sandbox
# build install_all
