Note that we have replaced the old TestFixture/TestMethod terminology with support for nested Contexts and Specs. We still support the old terminology to ensure compatibility with the previous version.

  void SetUp()

Installing Igloo

Igloo is implemented as a set of header files. Therefore there is no need for you to go through any additional steps to build it. After you've downloaded Igloo, just tell your build system to look for additional header files in the directory where you put Igloo, and you're ready to go.
