I have seen plenty of examples with the same issue, but they did not apply to my situation.
I have the following file structure:
unit-tests/CMakeLists.txt
unit-tests/FlaAlgoTests/CMakeLists.txt
unit-tests/FlaAlgoTests/catch_test_runner.cpp
In Proj/CMakeLists.txt
:
ExternalProject_Add(
catch
PREFIX ${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/catch2
GIT_REPOSITORY https://github.com/catchorg/Catch2.git
TIMEOUT 10
UPDATE_COMMAND ${GIT_EXECUTABLE} pull
CONFIGURE_COMMAND ""
BUILD_COMMAND ""
INSTALL_COMMAND ""
LOG_DOWNLOAD ON
)
ExternalProject_Get_Property(catch source_dir)
include_directories(${source_dir}/single_include/catch2)
And in Proj/TestDir1/CMakeLists.txt
:
add_executable(
catch_test_runner
catch_test_runner.cpp
)
Where catch_test_runner.cpp
is:
#include <iostream>
#include "catch.hpp"
#define CATCH_CONFIG_MAIN
TEST_CASE("Yeet", "[beep]"){
REQUIRE(true);
REQUIRE(2 == 1);
}
All of this looks perfectly fine and seems to be basically a copy/paste of numerous guides I have found for this. However, I get the following issue:
[100%] Linking CXX executable catch_test_runner.exe
CMakeFiles/catch_test_runner.dir/catch_test_runner.o: In function `::____C_A_T_C_H____T_E_S_T__(void)':

So, obviously it's able to link to catch.hpp, otherwise it wouldn't be able to find any of this stuff. And obviously I am using the single_include version of catch, which is the issue all of the examples I found of the same issue had.
What am I doing incorrectly?
The line #define CATCH_CONFIG_MAIN
tells catch.hpp
header that it should emit Catch implementation too. But for that purpose, this line should come before including of catch.hpp
:
#define CATCH_CONFIG_MAIN // This should come **before** including the 'catch.hpp'.
#include "catch.hpp"
