[GNC-dev] Unable to run test on mac os.

Jean,

At this point the build messages from libgtest.a are more interesting because that's what we're trying to coerce Xcode into putting somewhere different.

I trust that you started fresh from an empty build dir after changing common/test-core/CMakeLists.txt.

Regards,
John Ralls
