1. Unzip into , resulting in /CppUTest/ MAKE SURE DOES NOT HAVE SPACES IN IT MAKE SURE DOES NOT HAVE SPACES IN IT MAKE SURE DOES NOT HAVE SPACES IN IT 2. Build CppUTest and examples 2a. For unix/gcc (including cygwin) > cd /CppUTest > make NOTE: the builds run their unit tests to verify the build NOTE: Older cygwin installs may report memory leaks. 2b. For Microsoft Visual C++ V6 Double click /CppUTest/CppUTest.dsw Run without debugging, see the test results in the command window Exit MS Visual C++ To run the examples: Double click /CppUTest/example/CppUTestExample.dsw Run without debugging, see the test results in the command window You should define the environment variable CPP_U_TEST to point to CppUTest to run these. NOTE: To create your own project, you need to have CppUTest and your project compiled with the same compile and link settings NOTE: VC6 test runs may report memory leaks. 3c. For Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Double click /CppUTest/CppUTest.sln If Visual studio reports that the solution file was created with a newer version of Visual Studio, then try 3d Then press control-F5 to "Start without debugging" See CppUTest build and run its tests. 3d. For Older Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Double click /CppUTest/CppUTest.dsw Allow VS.NET to convert the files by clicking "yes to all" Run without debugging, see the test results in the command window Exit MS VS.NET Allow VS.NET to convert the files by clicking "yes to all" Run without debugging, see the test results in the command window NOTE: To create your own project, you need to have CppUTest and your project compiled with the same compile and link settings NOTE: VC6 test runs may report memory leaks. 4. to setup the support scripts. These scripts work in various unix systems and cygwin. (these are quite handy) If you are using windows install some tool like cygwin, msys or MKSToolkit to run these scripts. > cd /CppUTest/CppSourceTemplates > ./InstallScripts.sh This command adds some symbolic links to /usr/local/bin, so you have to run it as root. sudo ./InstallScripts.sh MSYS - http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml CYGWIN - http://www.cygwin.com/ MKSToolkit - http://mkstoolkit.com/
