Not indicated package "check"

[dmizhi]

I have installed gcc and check with brew, but gcc can't find headers file check.h
How to fix it? Mb I did something wrong with paths?

Example of error:

check_unit_tests.c:15:10: fatal error: check.h: No such file or directory
   15 | #include <check.h>

compilation terminated.

gcc-12 -std=c99 -c check_unit_tests.c

The safest way is to include the check include directory in your compilation:

gcc-12 -std=c99 -I$(brew --prefix check)/include -c check_unit_tests.c

Many formulae (like check) are also linked into the main Homebrew hierarchy, so including the main Homebrew include directory also works in the general case:

gcc-12 -std=c99 -I$(brew --prefix)/include -c check_unit_tests.c

But some formulae are "keg-only", i.e. they're not linked into the main Homebrew hierarchy on installation. If brew info <formula> says it's keg-only, you'll need to use the first formulation above.

It seems jetbrains recommends cmake: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/360004962500-Clion-can-t-find-header-files

I wrote "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/check/0.15.2/include/check.h" instead of <check.h>
Thanks for everyone!

[gromgit]

I wrote "/opt/homebrew/Cellar/check/0.15.2/include/check.h" instead of <check.h>

Two things to note:

1. Nobody uses fully-qualified #includes in real life, since anyone compiling your code on a different platform (with a different path to check.h) would have to manually change the code, instead of simply configuring the build differently.
2. Homebrew Cellar paths like /opt/homebrew/Cellar/check/0.15.2/... would obviously break on version upgrade. Use Homebrew opt paths instead (/opt/homebrew/opt/check/...), or just ask brew to provide the correct prefix like I did above ($(brew --prefix check)/include).

Thank you for your reply!
But I have this error:

What does that mean? Is there a way to solve this problem?

[carlocab]

It means you need to link with a missing library too. Probably something like

-L"$(brew --prefix check)/lib" -lcheck
