How to install check.h library?
Recently I had a need to install this library on my Mac, but I encountered a number of problems.
I didn't have the access rights to install it properly.
I just didn't understand what to do)
Just in case, check.h is a unit testing library in C and here is a guide on how to install it.
First, install brew, below is a bash script for installing brew directly into goinfre
#!/bin/bash
INSTALL_DIR="$HOME/goinfre/.brew"
# Delete and reinstall Homebrew from Github repo
rm -rf "$INSTALL_DIR"
git clone --depth=1 https://github.com/Homebrew/brew "$INSTALL_DIR"
# Create .brewconfig script in the installation directory
cat > "$INSTALL_DIR/.brewconfig.zsh" <<EOL
# HOMEBREW CONFIG
# Add brew to path
export PATH=$INSTALL_DIR/bin:\$PATH
# Set Homebrew temporary folders
export HOMEBREW_CACHE=/tmp/\$USER/Homebrew/Caches
export HOMEBREW_TEMP=/tmp/\$USER/Homebrew/Temp
mkdir -p \$HOMEBREW_CACHE
mkdir -p \$HOMEBREW_TEMP
# If NFS session
# Symlink Locks folder in /tmp
if df -T autofs,nfs \$HOME 1>/dev/null; then
HOMEBREW_LOCKS_TARGET=/tmp/\$USER/Homebrew/Locks
HOMEBREW_LOCKS_FOLDER=$INSTALL_DIR/.brew/var/homebrew
mkdir -p \$HOMEBREW_LOCKS_TARGET
mkdir -p \$HOMEBREW_LOCKS_FOLDER
# Symlink to Locks target folders
# If not already a symlink
if ! [[ -L \$HOMEBREW_LOCKS_FOLDER && -d \$HOMEBREW_LOCKS_FOLDER ]]; then
echo "Creating symlink for Locks folder"
rm -rf \$HOMEBREW_LOCKS_FOLDER
ln -s \$HOMEBREW_LOCKS_TARGET \$HOMEBREW_LOCKS_FOLDER
fi
fi
EOL
# Add .brewconfig sourcing in your .zshrc if not already present
if ! grep -q "# Load Homebrew config script" "$HOME/.zshrc"; then
cat >> "$HOME/.zshrc" <<EOL
# Load Homebrew config script
source "$INSTALL_DIR/.brewconfig.zsh"
EOL
fi
source "$INSTALL_DIR/.brewconfig.zsh"
rehash
brew update
echo -e "\nPlease open a new shell to finish installation"
Then:
brew install check
brew install gcc
brew install pkg-config
pkg-config –cflags –libs check – used to get compiler and linker flags for a library
check
. One path with flag I, the other with flag L.Then go to zshrc – nano ~/.zshrc (in the main folder) and insert two lines after CPATH= what was in that command after I, after LIBRARY_PATH= what was in that command after L and don't forget to write export.(export CPATH=…) before these commands.
And reboot this shell source ~./zshrc
And voila, this library works and the compiler sees it, after that I no longer had problems
