Autotools Quickstart

On my last post I talked about writing a test generator utilising autotools suite for its build system and packaging. Since then, I’ve been writing some software using autotools. But, everytime I need to reread the reference book or take a peek at my last project before I can start writing. So, I figure that writing a quickstart of using autotools will be helpful for future me!

Writing cgentest: Table Test Generator for C

Usually, I use the test-driven development (TDD) approach when I’m writing a software project. In Golang (the language that I used to write daily) there’s this neat library that helps me to do that, Gotests. Gotests is a simple tool that generates a table-driven test boilerplate, it helps me on writing tests on my past project.

Unfortunately, I can’t find such a tool in C. While there are plenty of unit testing libraries, I’m unable to find the one that simply generates a Table-driven testing boilerplate. So, I decided to write one myself.
