Drop internal copy of cxxtest

[Alex Valavanis]

lp:inkscape, r12000

At the moment we ship an internal copy of cxxtest 3.10.1 in trunk. A quick check, shows that cxxtest is available in Ubuntu Quantal/Raring [1] and in Fedora [2].

For the sake of maintainability, we should consider getting rid of our internal copy of cxxcheck when its adoption is more widespread in distros.

Adding a patch (against r12000) to drop use of internal cxxtest.

With the Ubuntu cxxtest package installed, I am able to run "make check". The test suite is generated successfully, although a number of new non-fatal compiler warnings are thrown.

On Windows, removing the files from the trunk means adding them (compiled) in the devlibs.

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

@nico - Well yes, but we could say that about all external libraries! Is there a reason why this would be a special case?

[jazzynico (jazzynico)]

@Alex - It is not a special case, but I needed a reminder that there are things to do in the devlibs (and in the build.xml file) before dropping the internal copy.

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

OK, sorry about the misunderstanding! How shall we proceed? Do you want to apply the patch to trunk at the same time as bundling the binary in devlibs?

AFAICT no portfile for cxxtest available for OS X builds using dependencies installed via MacPorts:

Work in progress to replace cxxtest with googletest. Probably "won't fix" soon.

[Alex Valavanis (valavanisalex)]

CMake build uses Googletest only. Dropped cxxtest in lp:inkscape r15096 so no need to update devlibs
