Unit testing through the Check framework

Requirements

• The Check unit testing framework: installation instructions
• make for build management
• the gcc compiler
• libtool for library support scripting
• pkg-config that facilitates compilation
• the automake programming tool for automating a build process.

In debian systems these can all be installed with the one-liner:

sudo apt-get install check make automake gcc libtool pkg-config
