RE: examples on webpage.

I assume you are referring to the CppUnit Cookbook?
http://cppunit.sourceforge.net/cppunit_cookbook.html#cppunit_cookbook

If you take the code directly from that site I believe it will compile.

Also, in the CppUnit source you downloaded look in cppunit\examples.
There you will find a examples.dsw. Open that up and check out
'hierarchy classes' which has a Boardgame with CppUnit working on it.

I wouldn't expect too much to be done about additional documentation.
CppUnit is free, and additional docs will probable be developed by end
users like me and you. Take a look at
http://www.iunknown.com/Articles/fog0000000025.html
For another example (gets into how to set up your project which can be a
pain)

Trust me though, I am a moron and I was able to get this working. Even
added additional assertions and no operation test results.

Good Luck,

Patrick Cremin

Subject: [Cppunit-devel] examples on webpage.

Hi,

trying to follow your examples on the website I was confused and
disillusioned
by the bad sourcecode you provide.

I understand that your page wants to explain the concepts, but it
basically
lacks one thing; producing a compiling file that I can actually run...


Ok, lets start my argument again; and let me get to the problem in a
bit.
I want to try cppunit. So the first thing I do is I find out about the
assertions
you provide and then I want to get a really simple test running and
compiling.
This part is essential and if this does not work I want to spend 0 time
trying
to figure out other ideas like suite etc.

The page I found provided a number of sourecode samples but none had a
full
listing that actually compiled.
And reaching the end I found a main method, but that uses a lot of
concepts I
never heard of; but I can't understand the concepts without seeing a
running
example of a test.


Confused? So was I, the problem with your pages is that I can only
understand
then when I know what it is you explain.

Please provide for _EACH_ example code a single file that contains the
whole
test; including main and everything.
Preferrably with an example gcc (or similar) call at the top.
It is sooo much easier to understand what you are saying when I have the
option
to see it in the context of the whole...
If I can just get one file to actually compile I might start using
cppunit!

Many thanx!

ps. a page describing the differences between junit and cppunit would
also be
great.
