CMake doesn't read the environment except for CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and LDFLAGS so you have to explicitly set those on the cmake command line:
   cmake -G Ninja -D CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install -D GTEST_ROOT=/usr/src/googletest/googletest -D GMOCK_ROOT=/usr/src/googletest/googlemock /path/to/gnucash-source
