hey thanks for the info.. incredibly it seems the re is no other better source on the net to start doing cppunit with eclipse.

but 2 observations:
- link to the example zip file is broken
- is this is the only way to run cppunit in eclipse, then netbeans is clear winner.
in netbeans the test files can be generated automatically and you have just to deploy your testcases,

more on that, there is a graphical output by running tests.

I feel really disappointed with eclipse now, as i don’t really want to use netbeans just for cppunit but it looks there is no other way…

@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 itÃ¤s 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.

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.
