Creating the LFE-derived test suites
====================================

Here is how to create `lfe_andor_SUITE.core` and `lfe_guard_SUITE.core`
files.

First clone and build LFE.

    git clone https://github.com/rvirding/lfe.git
    cd lfe
    git checkout v1.2.0
    MAKEFLAGS='' make compile
    export PATH=$(pwd)/bin:$PATH

Apply the source patch to rename and fix up the LFE source code:

    cd test
    git apply $ERL_TOP/lib/compiler/test/lfe-source.patch
    git reset --hard HEAD

Compile the modules to Core Erlang:

    lfec +to-core0 lfe*.lfe

Apply the core patch to correct some invalid variable names:

    git apply $ERL_TOP/lib/compiler/test/lfe-core.patch

Copy the patched .core file to the test suite:

    cp lfe*.core $ERL_TOP/lib/compiler/test
