[Android-development] How to run Qt unit tests under Android?

[Fält Simo]

You could install the cpanminus tool first. With that installing cpan modules is easy as eating snow. But if you don't want to do that, you can comment the QMake::Project usage away from the script. It is only used to detect failures of possible insignificant test cases.

Thanks, 

Sorry for being such a newbie here, but how do I install the apparently required Perl QMake::Project module?  My local CPAN complains that the module cannot be found and the manual installation instructions I found use make, which in turn complains about missing prerequisites.  Googling didn't find anything relevant related to QMake::Project but the meta::cpan etc sites, which unfortunately do not seem to include installation instructions.  (I last used Perl some 15-20 years ago, before Python times, and at that time when CPAN etc didn't exist yet, or at least were not widely used.)

I'm running Mac OS X Mavericks.

BTW, in the meanwhile, I was able manually change the linking command to produce a command-line binary, upload the resulting binary and the Qt shared libraries to /data/local/tmp, and to run the test case there with LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing correctly.  

As this particular one doesn't need Dalvik (as I'm running directly against the relevant binder interfaces in pre C++), the test case seems to execute just fine also in that way.
