I'm trying to set up CUnit for use on Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This is my test file in c:
#include <CUnit/CUnit.h>
int main() {
return 0;
}
At first, I was getting an error when using gcc cunit-test.c -lcunit
:
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcunit
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
So I made a symlink so that /usr/lib64/libcunit.so
points to /usr/lib64/libcunit.so.1
, which fixed that error.
However, I'm still not able to use the CUnit files. When I compile my test file, with gcc cunit-test.c -lcunit
I get the error
cunit-test.c:1:10: fatal error: CUnit/CUnit.h: No such file or directory
#include <CUnit/CUnit.h>
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
compilation terminated.
I was able to solve this question thanks to @Shawn.
To use CUnit, you need two packages: CUnit
and CUnit-devel
. The CUnit
package is in the default RHEL repositories, but the CUnit-devel
package is in a repository called codeready-builder. To use CUnit on RHEl, you need to run sudo subscription-manager repos --enable codeready-builder-for-rhel-8-x86_64-rpms
(or rhel-9 if you are using RHEL 9, etc.) to enable the repository, then install the CUnit-devel
package. Then you should be able to compile your program with gcc cunit-test -lcunit
.
