@arungmkumar Does make test work?

[arungmkumar]

@faheel
make test runs , but doesn't do anything. Just creates empty dirs bin and build.

@arungmkumar You can try making this change in the Makefile and then run make:

-	cd build && cmake .. && make
+	cd build && cmake .. --config release --target install && make

After the suggested change in Makefile , the below is the result.
