This document describes very shortly how to install the [http://sourceforge.net/projects/cppunit/ CppUnit] framework under Unix and how to write and run a very simplistic test case. This should get you started with using CppUnit, so that you can follow and try out the examples given in the [http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/doc/lastest/cppunit_cookbook.html CppUnit CookBook].
Installing
Download the latest version of CppUnit from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/cppunit/cppunit-1.12.1.tar.gz.
Let us install it under /var/tmp/cppunit/install:
$ cd /var/tmp/ $ mv ~/cppunit-1.12.1.tar.gz . $ tar xzf cppunit-1.12.1.tar.gz $ ln -s cppunit-1.12.1 cppunit $ cd cppunit $ ./configure --prefix=`pwd`/install $ make $ make check $ make install
