1. Unzip into , resulting in /CppUTest/ MAKE SURE DOES NOT HAVE SPACES IN IT MAKE SURE DOES NOT HAVE SPACES IN IT MAKE SURE DOES NOT HAVE SPACES IN IT 2. Build CppUTest and examples 2a. For unix/gcc (including cygwin) > cd /CppUTest/cpputest_build > ../configure > make > make tdd # This is to run the CppUTest unit tests 2b. For Microsoft Visual C++ V6 We couldn't install the compiler anymore. We removed the project files. You will need to make your own 2c. For ARMCC from Keil MDK-ARM (building CppUTest library only) > make all -C platforms/armcc Please see README and Makefile in platforms/armcc to adjust options, default CPU architecture is ARM7TDMI and default CPU execution mode is THUMB. 3c. For Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Double click /CppUTest/CppUTest.sln If Visual studio reports that the solution file was created with a newer version of Visual Studio, then try 3d Then press control-F5 to "Start without debugging" See CppUTest build and run its tests. 3d. For Older Microsoft Visual Studio .NET Double click /CppUTest/CppUTest.dsw Allow VS.NET to convert the files by clicking "yes to all" Run without debugging, see the test results in the command window Exit MS VS.NET Allow VS.NET to convert the files by clicking "yes to all" Run without debugging, see the test results in the command window NOTE: To create your own project, you need to have CppUTest and your project compiled with the same compile and link settings 4. to setup the support scripts. These scripts work in various unix systems and cygwin. (these are quite handy) If you are using windows install some tool like cygwin, msys or MKSToolkit to run these scripts. > cd /CppUTest > ./scripts/InstallScripts.sh This command adds some symbolic links to /usr/local/bin, so you have to run it as root. sudo ./InstallScripts.sh MSYS - http://www.mingw.org/msys.shtml CYGWIN - http://www.cygwin.com/ MKSToolkit - http://mkstoolkit.com/
