Solved visual-studio-2010 cppunit

I am trying to build CppUnit (first line in ReadMe says version 1.13) with Visual Studio 2010. Following the instructions (found on web forums, couldn't find much in CppUnit documentation); I cannot find a valid file extension. All file extensions end with ",v" what is this weird ",v" extension and what is the purpose of it?

I am frustrated at this point, if someone can help with how to load CppUnit in VS2010 project and build it....that would be a great help !

Are you referring to this project?
http://sourceforge.net/projects/cppunit

If so, use TortoiseSVN for example to get the latest code from svn:
https://cppunit.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/cppunit

It contains "INSTALL-VS.Net2008.txt" with instructions for Visual Studio 2008 but it can also be applied to Visual Studio 2010.

You may have to edit src\msvc6\testrunner\MsDevCallerListCtrl.cpp and replace
version("9.0")
with
version("10.0")

You can safely ignore any build errors as long as the sln outputs cppunit(d).lib or whichever dependencies you need.

Have fun! :)

Rami, Thank you very much for the pointer. How come this site is not mentioned anywhere? BTW, I don't see TortoiseSVN there, but that's ok. – Citify 1/4, 2011 at 13:14

TortoiseSVN can be downloaded from here: tortoisesvn.tigris.org. You can use it to download the code from the cppunit source code repository. It hasn't been updated in a while. You can get more information about cppunit2 from here: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CppUnit. You can also look into winunit, as I've recently used it with success: winunit.codeplex.com – Muskogean 2/4, 2011 at 7:47

Update: the repository is now at svn.code.sf.net/p/cppunit/code/trunk and contains instructions and project files for Visual Studio 2010. – Masquerade 15/9, 2013 at 6:17

I've successfully converted CPPUNIT 1.12.1 to be a VS2010 solution. It's described here: http://blogs.powersoft.ca/erict/archive/2012/02/21/cppunit-in-vs2010ndashwith-a-sample.aspx and the solution can be downloaded from there.

I just found a version which is really easy to build in VS2010(aka push 1 button): http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~cs3215/tools/cppunitAll.html

It's really nice because it has a .sln file which you can open directly. Also it includes a tutorial ;) Found it with google.de It's version 1.12.1

Have fun!
