I don't think you want to do a full release build...this would require 
you to install a proper PDF renderer for creating all the documentation 
stuff.

I just checked Leandro's initial mail again, all you try to do is call 
"runtest.py" for an external project which is not directly in the source 
tree, right?

Have you tried the "-e" option for "runtest.py", as is described in the 
"test-framework.rst"?
