• CppUnit2

Goal

Implements the vision described in the following document:

http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/cppunit2/features.html

Getting the sources

CppUnit2 sources are finally available on CVS. You can obtain them as follows:

cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cppunit.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/cppunit login
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cppunit.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/cppunit co cppunit2

Building

CppUnit2 uses Scons as /BuildSystem. Version 0.96.90 or above of Scons is required. Python 1.5.2 or above is required to run Scons. Python is available at http://www.python.org.

Download and unpack the scons-local package (http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=30337&package_id=67375) into the CppUnit2 top directory. scons.py should be at the same level as sconstruct.

Run the build from the CppUnit2 top directory with

python scons.py platform=XYZ

where XYZ is one of the following:

• mingw : Win32 MinGW
• suncc : Sun CC for Solaris
• vacpp : Visual Age C++
• msvc6 : Microsoft Visual C++ 6 service pack 5
• msvc70: Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002 (VC++ 7.0)
• msvc71: Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 (VC++ 7.1)
• linux-gcc: GCC

The examples and unit test executables can be found in the bin/ directory.

It is possible to build and run all the unit tests using the 'check' target. For example:

python scons.py platform=msvc71 check
