How to compile CppUTest in cygwin?

I've taken over a programming project from another programmer. This project uses a lot of unit tests to verify the code which I intend to continue using. I have no prior experience with unit testing (apart from some theoretical knowledge) so he wrote a very small guide for how to get it working before he left the company. That guide looks like this.

  1. Install cygwin with support for gcc/g++
  2. Download CppUTest
  3. Compile CppUTest in cygwin

I think I've completed the two first steps, but I have no idea how to compile CppUTest in cygwin (I 've never used cygwin before). I tried some quick googling on the Title of this question but I couldn't find something useful.

I made a mini guide for internal use at my company, have been working fine for us so far. It goes something like this:

Install cygwin, default and development packages.

Download and extract Cpputest to c:\cpputest-x.x

Configure and install cpputest: Start cygwin and input the following shell commands

cd c:\cpputest-x.x
./configure
make
make check

Install helper scripts (optional step)

cd scripts
./InstallScripts.sh

Add CPPUTEST_HOME as an environment variable: in c:\cygwin64\home\your_user_name.bash_profile add

< export CPPUTEST_HOME=/cygdrive/c/cpputest-x.x >

You should now be good to go. If not, write to the CppUTest google group, theres always friendly people willing to help.

You can use either CMake or autoconf.

CMake

Open a cygwin terminal and:

cd cpputest_build
cmake ..
make

(Or use the CMake GUI)

Btw. you can enable CppuTest C++11 by using this call: cmake -DC++11=ON ... Cmake will print this line then: 

Using C++11 library:                ON

autoconf

With a cygwin terminal:

cd cpputest_build
autoreconf .. -i
../configure
make
