How to make `make check` process TAP output?

I have a C++ program that generates what I believe is minimal TAP output, like this:

  TAP version 13
  1..3
  ok 1
  not ok 2
  ok 3

This program is called test_runner and returns 0.

The Makefile.am in the directory is the following:

  TESTS = test_runner
  check_PROGRAMS = test_runner
  test_runner_SOURCES = main.cpp

Now, when I execute make check, the summary output is the following:

  # TOTAL: 1
  # PASS:  1
  # SKIP:  0
  # XFAIL: 0
  # FAIL:  0
  # XPASS: 0
  # ERROR: 0

My question is: is make check supposed to inspect the TAP output of my program (as I would expect to get 2 successes and 1 failure) and if so, what am I doing wrong?

automake version is 1.13.3, autoconf version is 2.69.
