Chapter 5. Constructing a Temporary System

5.14. Check-0.9.14

Check is a unit testing framework for C.

Approximate build time: 0.1 SBU
Required disk space: 11 MB

5.14.1. Installation of Check

5.14.2. 32-bit Installation

Prepare Check for 32-bit compilation: 

PKG_CONFIG= ./configure --prefix=/tools \
    --libdir=/tools/lib32               \
    CC="gcc -m32"

The meaning of the configure parameter:

PKG_CONFIG=

This tells the configure script to ignore any pkg-config options that may cause the system to try to link with libraries not in the /tools directory.

Build the package: 

make

Compilation is now complete. As discussed earlier, running the test suite is not mandatory for the temporary tools here in this chapter. To run the Check test suite anyway, issue the following command: 

make check

Note that the Check test suite may take a relatively long (up to 4 SBU) time.

Install the package: 

make install

Clean up the build directory before moving on to the next platform: 

make clean

5.14.3. x32 ABI Installation

Prepare Check for x32 ABI compilation: 

PKG_CONFIG= ./configure --prefix=/tools \
    --libdir=/tools/libx32              \
    CC="gcc -mx32"

The meaning of the configure parameter:

PKG_CONFIG=

This tells the configure script to ignore any pkg-config options that may cause the system to try to link with libraries not in the /tools directory.

Build the package: 

make

Compilation is now complete. As discussed earlier, running the test suite is not mandatory for the temporary tools here in this chapter. To run the Check test suite anyway, issue the following command:
