@SatarupaPal

Also had this problem. You need to set library search path & library name as in the article.

JK – I was having the same problem!! I found that MSYS is part of the minGW suite, but is a separate install – http://www.mingw.org/wiki/MSYS just run the MSYS-1.0.10.exe and you will have it on your system – then follow the instructions in step 2. Very Good “How To”, much better than the one on the CPPUnit site!!!

I tried with the same. CppUnitBuild library is made successfully. But when I tried to link this library with one example itäs giving error.

Like I have taken one example present in CPPUnitTese source.Have kept in some other path. And done the same as mentioned, like set include and library path as described. When I tried to build, it gives error , like present in CPPUnitBuild source code as shown below.

C:/CPP/cppunit/include/cppunit/portability/Stream.h: undefined reference to `(anonymous namespace)::allocator::~allocator()’ C:/CPP/cppunit/include/cppunit/portability/Stream.h: undefined reference to `(anonymous namespace)::allocator::allocator()’

C:/Documents and Settings/satapal/workspace/CppUnitBuild/Debug/../Asserter.cpp undefined reference to `(anonymous namespace)::allocator::~allocator()’
C:/Documents and Settings/satapal/workspace/CppUnitBuild/Debug/../Asserter.cpp undefined reference to `(anonymous namespace)::allocator::allocator()’

Pleaze help me regarding this.

@joe I don’t understand what you are saying but note that you need to complete instructions in “Building CppUnit Package from the Source Code in Eclipse IDE” section only once, not for every C++ project you create in Eclipse.

@Joshua http://www.mingw.org/wiki/msys :)

Thanks for the great article.
I don’t have MSYS and I don’t find it on the net (maybe there is a more advanced replacement?). I don’t run Vista but Windows 2000 (my other system, at home, is ubuntu Hardy :-> ). So I could not generate config-auto.h file and this probably is why the build step fails with 100 errors.
It must be another way of getting config-auto.h…?
Thanks so much.
JK

this is a horribly useless article, and has little to nothing to do with eclipse in reality. Creating a seperate project to do the unit testing in defeats the whole point of it.. This article only would have been worthwhile if it covered the usage / setup that integrated c/cpp unit into eclipse. otherwise theres nothing special that wouldn’t be better described generically for the command line…

Great article but the sample zip file link is broken.
