[GNC-dev] Gnucash-3.0 build error: GTEST not found

[DaveC49]

Thanks John,

I did clone the googletest-master at https://github.com/google/googletest
which has gmock incorporated. I will try pointing GMOCK_ROOT and GTEST_ROOT
at the copies within my user directory that I  installed it from as a shared
library in usr/local. I will also check the permissions on the shared
library to see if that is what is causing a problem.  

I will incorporate the patch https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/pull/329
into the existing code and use v1.8.0 from now on. I have not found a
successful description on the ubuntu and linux mint forums for how to
properly install google test as a shared library. The readme under
googletest on github still describes the setup for v 1.7.0. I had changed
the install to put the libraries and includes in what seemed like
appropriate locations under /usr/local.

I would have got further today but unfortunately the weather here was
magnificent so I opted for fishing from my kayak instead but I will get back
to it tonight

Cheers

David
