RE: [Cppunit-devel] Coming release (was: Is this project dead?)

[Summerwill, B. <BSu...@eu...>]

I grabbed the CVS HEAD and tried building debug and release configurations
of each application.  Here's what I found ....


Examples.DSW workspace
----------------------

Hierarchy and CppUnitTestMain build without any problems, in both Debug and
Release configurations.

HostApp & CppTestApp build successfully, but the custom build step for
DSPlugIn ...

"$(TargetPath)" /RegServer 
echo regsvr32 exec. time > "$(OutDir)\regsvr32.trg" 
echo Server registration done!

... appears to try to execute the DLL being constructed, which pops up a
dialog asking the user to choose
an application to open the DLL with.  I don't know what this registration
step is for, but can only assume
that the custom build step isn't correct.

There are a number of unnecessary dependencies in this DSW.  These appears
to be the actual dependencies required ...


                          CppUnit  DSPlugIn
                              |      |
      +----------+------------+      |
      |          |            |      |
  Hierarchy   CppUnit        TestRunner
              TestMain           |
                          +------+------+
                          |             |
                       HostApp      CppTestApp


So the DSW only needs ...

Hierarchy -> CppUnit
CppUnitTestMain -> CppUnit
TestRunner -> CppUnit
TestRunner -> DSPlugIn
HostApp -> TestRunner
CppTestApp -> TestRunner.


I've got a few questions / suggestions too.

There appear to be a large number of workspaces, some of which contain
duplicate parts of CppUnit.  One example of this is the Hierarchy workspace,
which contains just the Hierarchy application.  This application is also
available in the Examples.dsw workspace.  In my experience, it always works
better if you have all the applications in a single workspace (like
Examples.dsw) or in their own workspace (Hierarchy.dsw), but not both.
Having both means you've got twice the maintainance.

What is the CrossPlatform Setting configuration?

Please could someone explain what DSPlugIn, TestPlugIn, TestPlugInRunner and
TestRunner are, please?


Cheers,
Bob

    It's done. Can you or somebody else test the current CVS HEAD for
Windows ?

    Thanks,
    Baptiste.
