Build googletest to generate library files .a

https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/README.md

git clone https://github.com/google/googletest.git -b release-1.10.0
cd googletest        # Main directory of the cloned repository.
mkdir build          # Create a directory to hold the build output.
cd build
cmake ..             # Generate native build scripts for GoogleTest.

Then you will get the needed .a files, just like following:

Install googletest to /usr/local directory

make
sudo make install    # Install in /usr/local/ by default

备注：/usr/local在编译器的默认搜索路径中，可以直接使用该目录下的头文件和lib

Run samples

In the googletest git repository, you can find some samples. Follow the below steps and run the samples.

Take sample1_unittest.cc for example.

g++ -g -std=c++11 -c sample1_unittest.cc sample1.cc ## compile to generate .o files
g++ -g -o a.out sample1.o sample1_unittest.o /usr/local/lib/libgtest.a /usr/local/lib/libgtest_main.a ## link to generate .out file
./a.out. ## run tests

或者使用如下命令：

g++ -g -std=c++11 -c sample1_unittest.cc sample1.cc ## compile to generate .o files
## /usr/local/lib在默认的lib搜索路径中
## 注意-lgtest对应的是libgtest.a
g++ -lgtest -lgtest_main -o a.out sample1.o sample1_unittest.o -v ## link to generate .out file
./a.out. ## run tests
