Xcode and Boost unit tests
Andreas sent me this link yesterday:
He has just configured our HMM framework with this. It is really nice to have the unit tests integrated with the IDE.
I am still only very slowly getting used to working with an IDE. I have used emacs and a terminal for my programming for 15 years and I never really saw the point of an IDE. Then when I got a Mac, I figured I should give Xcode a try. After all, it is just a shell on top of GCC, so I can recognize the error messages and such, so the change should be manageable.
All in all, I am growing to like Xcode. I still use Automake to set up the build system, since I want my code to compile on Linux as well (I run most of my computations on a Linux grid), but I do my editing in Xcode exclusively now.
Until now I ran my unit tests in the terminal, but it is much nicer to run them from Xcode and get directed to the test violations.

I switched this year from automake to CMake for my build system. It doesn’t have as many modules as automake, but it does have really portable support for building and packaging on windows, osx, and unix.
