[Insight-developers] Test framework

[Blezek, Daniel J.]

Hi Luis,

A)  No, Google doesn't use CMake as yet.  The snippit of CMake code is
at the beginning of the GoogleTest section of the Wiki page:
http://www.itk.org/Wiki/Proposals:Increasing_ITK_Code_Coverage  I didn't
modify the source, nor need to configure any include files. 

B) I missed the part about VS 7.  We have a license for VS 6 and on, but
no one uses it (except of course Bill?!?).

Hi Dan,

Thanks for adding to the Wiki the information on GoogleTest.


Two questions:


A)  You mention that it

          "trivially compiles using CMake without
           configuration or modification. "


     Is that right ?

     I downloaded version: gtest-1.2.1.tar.gz (released Dec 11)
     and couldn't find CMakeLists.txt files in it.

     There are standard configure and scons constructs  in the
     directory...

     Have you written a CMakeLists.txt file for gtest ?
     If so, could you please share it ? (maybe attach it to
     the Wiki)



B) The README file indicates that in order to build it on
    Windows it requires Visual Studio 7.1 or newer.

    This may actually be a good opportunity for
    singing the Requiem for Visual Studio 6.0 and 7.0.   :-)



   Thanks


       Luis
