Never seem to get a cgreen-runner executable

[JonJagger]

Hi,
There are several cgreen test-frameworks installed in https://cyber-dojo.org
I'm trying to upgrade them (at the same time as upgrading the base C compiler).
Whatever I try I am completely failing to ever get a cgreen-runner executable.
I've tried building in an Alpine docker image and an Ubuntu docker image.
On Alpine I'm trying this...

apk add cmake wget unzip
wget https://github.com/cgreen-devs/cgreen/archive/refs/tags/1.5.1.zip
unzip 1.5.1.zip
cd cgreen-1.5.1

make
make test
make install
cd ..

And on Ubuntu the same except I use apt-get install --yes instead of apk add.
To be clear, after I've run this script; there is no cgreen-runner binary on the PATH.
There does not appear to be one in the cgreen-1.5.1 dir.
There does not appear to be one anywhere at all off the root / dir!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Do you get any errors, or is the build finishing ok but no cgreen-runner?

If you get the library built, then I think you might have encountered the situation described in the README. To get the cgreen-runner you also need libbfd.

On Ubuntu this should do it

apt install binutils-dev

If not, get back with more details.

(Migrating from nm to libbfd to auto-discover tests introduced automatic "intelligence" to not build the runner if that library was not found. We should probably look into making a bigger warning when that happens, since using the runner is the prefered way to use cgreen.)

The build finished ok, with no apparant warnings, but no cgreen-runner :-(
Yes I did indeed need binutils-dev (on Alpine), and then it all was fine.
Thanks for the help
I definitely agree that adding some warnings for this situation would be nice.

I had to remove the line make test, leaving just make and make install
as 7 of the tests were failing (again on Alpine).

Thanks for cyber-dojo! And I'm glad it was nothing more complicated.

This seems strange. I haven't built on Alpine, but it builds and passes all tests on Ubuntu.

(Although I found that the Makefile invokes ctest with incorrect arguments. It doesn't take a "dir" argument, so should be "cd build; ctest" instead.)

Could you attach the output from the failing tests run with verbose, please? (cd build; ctest -V)

Ok. I pulled the Alpine Docker image and see the errors:

The following tests FAILED:
      7 - constraint_messsages (BAD_COMMAND)
      8 - custom_constraint_messsages (BAD_COMMAND)
      9 - mock_messsages (BAD_COMMAND)
     10 - failure_messages (Failed)
     11 - assertion_messages (BAD_COMMAND)
     12 - ignore_messages (Failed)
     13 - xml_output (BAD_COMMAND)

Right?
