Build and configuration

Build

xtl build supports the following options:

  • BUILD_TESTS: enables the xtest target (see below).
  • DOWNLOAD_GTEST: downloads gtest and builds it locally instead of using a binary installation.
  • GTEST_SRC_DIR: indicates where to find the gtest sources instead of downloading them.
  • XTL_DISABLE_EXCEPTIONS: indicates that tests should be run with exceptions disabled.

All these options are disabled by default. Enabling DOWNLOAD_GTEST or setting GTEST_SRC_DIR enables BUILD_TESTS.

If the BUILD_TESTS option is enabled, the following target is available:

  • xtest: builds an run the test suite.

For instance, building the test suite of xtl where the sources of gtest are located in e.g. /usr/share/gtest:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DGTEST_SRC_DIR=/usr/share/gtest ../
make xtest
