CppUnit Install trouble

[Kenji Morita]

I have a trougle with installing CppUnit for Unix.

I had error with "make" command , when I try to "configure" and "make".
Error content is following.

How can I get rid of this error ?
Would you like tell me ?

Now, I use Sun Solaris 8 and gcc version 3.3.2.
Then, I specified "configure" comand like following.

----configure option-----
./configure CXXFLAGS="-g -c" LDFLAGS="-lc -lm -lgcc"

Hi Kenji Morita,

CommandLineParser.h line 26 (which caused the syntax error before `;' token) says:
  CPPUNIT_NS::PlugInParameters m_parameters;

I guess that during your compilation, PlugInParameters was not defined.  This could be because the definition of PlugInParameters is inside an #if-#endif, within cppunit/plugin/PlugInParameters.h:

#if !defined(CPPUNIT_NO_TESTPLUGIN)
...
#endif // !defined(CPPUNIT_NO_TESTPLUGIN)

CPPUNIT_NO_TESTPLUGIN is defined in cppunit/config/SelectDllLoader.h, for some unfortunate platforms:

// Is WIN32 platform ?
#if defined(WIN32)
...
// Is BeOS platform ?
#elif defined(__BEOS__)
...
// Is Unix platform and have shl_load() (hp-ux)
#elif defined(CPPUNIT_HAVE_SHL_LOAD)
...
// Is Unix platform and have include <dlfcn.h>
#elif defined(CPPUNIT_HAVE_LIBDL)
...
// Otherwise, disable support for DllLoader
#else
#define CPPUNIT_NO_TESTPLUGIN 1
#endif

Hope this helps.  Do you really need the DllPlugInTester? Otherwise I guess you can still use the rest of the testing framework...

Note that I don't have a Sun Solaris machine, I just took a look at the source code.

Hi Niels Dekker

Thank you very much for your help.
I can succeed to make with changing header file.

However, I have one more question.
Would you like to tell me ?

I have following error with "make check" command.
Is this no problem ?

I don't think that's a problem.  I think those failures were intended, just to test the test framework!

(Note: I haven't tried it myself.)

Hope this helps, Niels

Hi Niels Dekker 

Thank you very much for your help.
I understand. I overlooked "..The following test fails, this is intended"
