Please add to README how to run tests

[yurivict]

Usually it should be sufficient to:

cmake -DBUILD_TESTS=ON
make test

[rollbear]

It suffices to make as a top level project and -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug, but you're right, it's missing in the README. I'll add it.

[yurivict]

But this isn't right. Debug is a different build type. Sometimes debug code works and release code doesn't work.

The Release code should be tested as it is normally built.

[rollbear]

I stated how it works, not how it ought to work.

[yurivict]

Tests don't get built with CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug either for me.

[rollbear]

Hmm. Interesting.

What failure are you seeing?

[rollbear]

It is added to the README now. Let me know if the description needs to be updated.
