[Cppunit-devel] Info on compilation problems

[Hellenga G. <hel...@ba...>]

I'm having a build problem I don't see mentioned in any of the INSTALL,
README, or BUGS files.

I downloaded the tar.gz file for CppUnit version 1.8.0, and attempted to
build it on our Sun Blade 1000, running Solaris 2.8.  I ran 'configure
CC=cc CXX=CC' (using Sun Forte 6.2 compiler), then 'make'.  All appeared
to complete fine.  When I ran 'make check', though, I got a lot of
Undefined symbol errors while linking.  I get these same link errors
when I try to link my own test files with the CppUnit libraries.

I can build CppUnit using gcc 2.95.3 (the 'make check' appears to
"succeed" (failed as intended)), but my test files won't link with the
GCC-produced lib, due to name-mangling diffs with the Sun C++ compiler.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
