Installing Check

+ +

+The following instructions show how one can either install Check from +a package manager or compile from source on one's platform. +

+ +

GNU/Linux

GNU/Hurd

Debian GNU/Hurd From Source

OpenBSD via Packages
From Source

Windows

+ +

+ + +

Ubuntu/Debian via Aptitude

+Ubuntu and Debian both provide a Check package that can be installed. +To install, in a terminal, type: + +

+$ sudo apt-get install check
+

+

+ + + +

Fedora via Yum

+Fedora both provides a Check package that can be installed. To install, +in a terminal, type: + +

+$ sudo yum install check
+

+

+ + + +

GNU/Linux From Source

+Check uses autotools as a build system, and the default steps +work on GNU/Linux systems. After the +latest Check source +has been downloaded and unpacked, open a terminal in the unpacked +directory, then: +

+$ ./configure
+$ make
+$ make check
+$ sudo make install
+

+If the "make check" step fails, please send an email to Check's +mailing list +and give details as to the failure so it may be investigated and fixed. +

+

+ + + +

Debian GNU/Hurd From Source

+Debian GNU/Hurd does not yet provide a package for Check, so it must +be compiled from source. Check uses autotools as a build system, and the +default steps work on Debian GNU/Hurd systems. +Note that not all unit tests currently pass on GNU/Hurd; this is being +investigated. After the +latest Check source +has been downloaded and unpacked, open a terminal in the unpacked +directory, then: +

+$ ./configure
+$ make
+$ sudo make install
+

+

+ + + +

OSX via MacPorts

+MacPorts provides a Check package that can be installed. First, +install MacPorts +if not done already. Then, in a terminal, type: + +

+$ sudo port install check
+

+

+ + + +

OSX via Homebrew

+Homebrew provides a Check package that can be installed. First, +install Homebrew +if not done already. Then, in a terminal, type: + +

+$ brew install check
+

+

+ + + +

OSX From Source

+Check uses autotools as a build system, and the default steps +work on OSX systems. You must have Xcode installed. After the +latest Check source +has been downloaded and unpacked, open a terminal in the unpacked +directory, then: +

+$ ./configure
+$ make
+$ make check
+$ sudo make install
+

+If the "make check" step fails, please send an email to Check's +mailing list +and give details as to the failure so it may be investigated and fixed. +

+

+ + + +

OpenBSD via Packages

+OpenBSD provides a Check package that can be installed. To install, +in a terminal, type: + +

+$ sudo pkg_add check
+

+

+ + + +

BSD From Source

+Check uses autotools as a build system, and the default steps +work when building on the BSD system. Special care is required when +cross compiling, which is described below. +

+After the latest Check source +has been downloaded and unpacked, open a terminal in the unpacked +directory. To compile on the BSD system directly, type: +

+$ ./configure
+$ make
+$ make check
+$ sudo make install
+

+If the "make check" step fails, please send an email to Check's +mailing list +and give details as to the failure so it may be investigated and fixed. +

+Cross compiling for BSD may require an additional configure argument: +--enable-timer-replacement . +Check attempts to use high resolution timers via the timer_create(), +timer_settime(), and timer_delete() functions. For some BSD systems +(e.g. OpenBSD), these functions exist but are non-functional stubs. +If the functions are available, when compiling on the target system the +configure script will verify that the calls are not stubs. If they are +valid, Check will use them. When cross compiling, the validity check +cannot be performed. To prevent Check from using these when cross +compiling for affected BSD systems, add the --enable-timer-replacement +configure option. +

+

+ + + +

Cygwin via Package Manager

+Cygwin provides a Check package that can be installed. To install, +launch the Cygwin setup program, locate the Check package under +the Devel folder, then install. +

+

+ + + +

Cygwin From Source

+Check uses autotools as a build system, and the default steps +work on Cygwin. You must have gcc, and make installed. After the +latest Check source +has been downloaded and unpacked, open a Cygwin terminal in the unpacked +directory, then: +

+$ ./configure
+$ make
+$ make check
+$ sudo make install
+

+If the "make check" step fails, please send an email to Check's +mailing list +and give details as to the failure so it may be investigated and fixed. +

+

+ + + +

MinGW/MinGW-w64 From Source

+MinGW and MinGW-w64 do not provide a package for Check, so it must be +compiled from source. Check uses autotools as a build system, and the +default steps work on both MinGW and MinGW-w64. Note that because both +MinGW and MinGW-w64 do not provide a fork() alternative, Check's fork +mode will be disabled. After the +latest Check source +has been downloaded and unpacked, open a MSYS terminal in the unpacked +directory, then: +

+$ ./configure
+$ make
+$ make check
+$ make install
+

+If the "make check" step fails, please send an email to Check's +mailing list +and give details as to the failure so it may be investigated and fixed. +
