Configuring a library to be included with C++ test
- by vrish88
Hello,
I would like to utilize the UnitTest++ library in a testing file. However, I am having some difficulty getting the library to be included at compile time. So here is my current directory structure:
tests/
UnitTests++/
libUnitTest++.a
src/
UnitTests++.h
unit/
test.cpp
I have just used the UnitTest++ getting started guide to just get the library setup. Here is test.cpp:
// test.cpp
#include <UnitTest++.h>
TEST(FailSpectacularly)
{
CHECK(false);
}
int main()
{
return UnitTest::RunAllTests();
}
And I am currently trying to compile with:
gcc -lUnitTest++ -L../UnitTest++/ -I../UnitTest++/src/ test.cpp
I am currently getting a bunch output with ld: symbol(s) not found at the end. So how would I be able to get the UnitTest++ library properly included when this program is compiled? I am on a Mac and I'd also like for there to be an easy way for people on a Linux machine to run these same tests.
Whew, I hope this provides enough information, if not please let me know.
