I just upgraded my Mac to Mavericks and Xcode 5.0.1, and my tests no longer compile, yielding the message:

gtest/include/gtest/internal/gtest-type-util.h:52:12: fatal error: 'cxxabi.h' file not found

What is the intended way to get around this?

I looked in the .../usr/include folders, and there is indeed no cxxabi.h file.

$ c++ -v

Apple LLVM version 5.0 (clang-500.2.79) (based on LLVM 3.3svn)

Target: x86_64-apple-darwin13.0.0

Thread model: posix

The culprit seems to be the lines:

// _LIBCPP_VERSION is defined by the libc++ library from the LLVM project.

#if defined(__GLIBCXX__) || defined(_LIBCPP_VERSION)

# define GTEST_HAS_CXXABI_H_ 1

#else

# define GTEST_HAS_CXXABI_H_ 0

#endif

Obviously those lines work on some platform; which platform(s) is that?

Never mind. I got it working without changing gtest.

It was a makefile problem
