Re: Fwd: Building and testing cheese

[Jedidiah Johnson <river226 gmail com>]

Here is really what I am asking:

I have never done a projects like this and am doing a specialized fork, however I have no idea how to even go about testing cheese to work on bug fixes let alone tweak it for my project. Hell I am having trouble getting all the libraries I need to use the autogen.sh. I am a noob and I was hoping that someone on this list might be able to point me towards a guide that could help, or even give me something to work on.

The make check also did not work for me. is there something I need to do to make that work?

thanks

sorry been busy for a while. I am the only one working on the fork, and it is a new fork. So in the future if anyone where to work on it I would expect them to talk to me, and I understand that not being "Cheese" doesn't qualify for this list, but as it is currently cheese with a few options commented out I was hoping i could get some help.

At the moment I am starting with Cheese and I want to slowly modify and and test my modifications as I get used to the code. Especially since I do not know a lot about vala.

thanks for any and all help.

 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.

Then please talk to the maintainers of the fork? Anyway "make check" is the canonical means of running the tests. And libtool --mode=execute ./path/to/cheese should allow to run the uninstalled binary.

Thanks

Daniel G. Siegel directed me to this list, as I am building a fork of the
cheese application, and am looking for advice on how to build and test it.
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".
