#38 Building CUint on MacOS

[Anonymous]

Hi,
I'm using MacOS
I tried to install CUnit as execuable and also to build the library from the source code.

Download:
$ brew install cunit

I see the addition
$ ls -la /opt/homebrew/Cellar/cunit/2.1-3

total 136

% pwd
/opt/homebrew/Cellar/cunit/2.1-3/lib

% file libcunit.a
libcunit.a: current ar archive random library
Which I assume is the library I should used for the testing

Build:
I have downloed the file CUnit-2.1-3.tar.bz2 and opened it
I want to build the library.

**Q: where are the C/CPP files ?
**
I see only header file

**I'm looking at the README file
**
To build using jam:

1. Set the working directory to the top of the source tree

2. Generate Jamrules
   a. On Linux, run autoconf & configure
   b. On Windows, copy Jamrules.in to Jamrules

3. Edit the top section of Jamrules to match your preferences

4. jam -f Jambase install

To build using jam:
$% brew install jamrules
fail

I tried also without jam

Linux:

In addition to jam, the standard GNU build system is still supported.
The usual sequence of steps should succeed in building and installing CUnit:
1. aclocal (if necessary)
2. autoconf (if necessary)
3. automake (if necessary)
4. chmod u+x configure (if necessary)
5. ./configure --prefix <your choice="" of="" directory="" for="" installation="">
6. make
7. make install</your>

**Q: Does the Linux instructions valid also for MacOS?
**

I have aclocal,  autoconf and automake installed on my system

Q: What is the command sequence I need to run in order to build the librart?
Best.
