The command "make" will build and run your tests, as well as build the program golden_rose, which can serve as the basis for a golden-rule test. Assumptions: - gnu make and a C compiler (like gcc) is installed on your system and is in the PATH - The check unit testing library is installed on your system (https://libcheck.github.io/check/) - pkg-config is installed on your system Notes: - This project is tweaked to run on Linux systems, and will mostly work on Macs. With some changes to the Makefile it can be made to run on BSD systems with BSD make. An adventurous person could also get it to run on Windows. - If you are working on a Macintosh computer you cannot run the memtest target, because valgrind and OS X don't play nice any more. If you want to use the memory checker OS X does run docker as a first class citizen. - If you don't have pkg-config on your system, the only changes you'll need to make are for the requirements of the check library. Mostly you need to set the appropriate flags for threaded binaries, which may include some special linker flags. The libcheck documentation will cover what you need if you want to undertake this change.
