[GNC-dev] [GNC] Reconciliation Report -- Can't find transactions

[David Cousens]

Liz,

Google Test and Google Mock are used to perform unit tests on the Google code. These tests check the components of
GnuCash out individually to ensure they are performing as expected. This is particularly important when things like
libraries GnuCash depends upon change. This can happen for example when a user does not have the same library versions
as a developer. If the components functionality doesn't change when a library is chnaged, then there is a better than
even chance the overall program operation will still be OK. 

GTEST and GMOCK need to be installed to build GnuCash. Despite the reservations expressed about using the installation
of them as shared libraries, I have used shared GTEST and GMOCK libraries since GTEST and GMOCK have been in the GnuCash
build without any problems and this does not require defining GTEST_ROOT and GMOCK_ROOT.

See the second procedure  https://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Google_Test or the third procedure for installing using apt if
you are on a Ubuntu based system . AFAIK they work for 16.10, 18.04 and 18.10 or Linux Mint 18 through to 19.
