Re: Fwd: Building and testing cheese

[Jedidiah Johnson <river226 gmail com>]

 I am actually working on a fork of cheese, and am modifying the code. I don't want to have to install it every time I change the code so I was wondering if there was a way to test the code to see if I broke stuff and make sure it works the way I want.

Thanks

Can anyone help?

If you are building Cheese, you can clone the git repository, generate the build files and then build it. The commands for a typical clone and build process would look something like:

git clone git://git.gnome.org/cheese
cd cheese
./autogen.sh
make
make install

This will install to /usr/local by default, so you will need the relevant permissions to do so. There are some automated tests in the "tests" directory which can be run with "make check".
