Goals

The goals of this project are:

To exercise the tools of this course: Ubuntu on Virtual box, Subversion, the C compiler and Make.
To understand the test-driven and agile software development approaches advocated in this course.

Specific steps

Install Virtual Box.
Download the ISO for ubuntu 16.04.05 server version, 32-bit (i386), and install into a Virtual Box virtual machine. I downloaded a 32-bit server ISO image, for use in this and future installs.
Note: An step-by-step exists from an earlier class. You might benefit from a review of this walk through.
Enter your virtual ubuntu image (terminal) and update all software then install a bunch of packages: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade sudo apt-get install subversion sudo apt-get install build-essential
Using the username, password, and commands emailed to you, do an initial check out of the your class subversion repository ("the repo") into the ~/csc421.svn folder of your home directory.
Copy all of class/proj0 to the proj0 directory of your folder in the repository, and make an initial commit: cd ~/csc421.svn mkdir [yourname]/proj0 cp class/proj0/* [yourname]/proj0 svn add [yourname]/proj0 svn commit -m "initial commit"
Modify the helloworld.c to function as in the above man-page.
Run the test target of the Makefile until your program performs accordingly; double check that make test runs without differences.
Commit for a grade by the due date.

Discussion

The provided helloworld.c is the skeleton. Please modify to satisfy the test case. The Makefile provided has the default target to build the binary. The test target redirects output to the helloworld.out file and then compares the captured output to the reference output give in helloworld.ref. Differences will be reported. If the match, the diff program is silent.

The clean target removes build and test products. Never commit products! Commit only sources (in this project, Makefile, helloworld.c and helloworld.ref). Points of for committing build products.
