Bug 84336 – dev-util/cxxtest-3.10.1 (new package)

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: CONFIRMED ---

[Description Boris Guskee 2005-03-06 13:02:49 UTC]

Hi,

please find attached the ebuild for CxxTest and two little patches. From the description of the project: "CxxTest is a JUnit/CppUnit/xUnit-like [unit testing] framework for C++.  Its advantages over existing alternatives are that it: 
- Doesn't require RTTI 
- Doesn't require member template functions 
- Doesn't require exception handling 
- Doesn't require any external libraries (including memory management, file/console I/O, graphics libraries) 
- Is distributed entirely as a set of header files 
This makes it extremely portable and usable."

dev-util/cppunit and dev-util/qtunit are imho the closest alternatives. See  http://weblogs.asp.net/rosherove/archive/2004/12/30/343938.aspx for a comparision of CxxTest and CppUnit.

Boris

change the reference to the user guide in the README

Don't mess around with people who are already looking for help.

Can we add this to the portage tree, already? This bug is over two years old, and I used these ebuilds without issue. Some people use cxxtest, and being able to easily install it would be a boon to them.

I agree, I would like to see it as well. There is a bug in the ebuild, though:

oh. builds and runs fine under ~amd64, too. i'd love to see this package in portage.

ebuild cleanup

I have removed all the hackishes so the ebuild can be safely added to the portage tree; feedbacks and testing are welcome too. Hope to be usefull.
