| # This script does no error handling and is built pretty specifically to my project. | |
| # You're welcome to use it if it works for you, but it's mainly here as a reference. | |
| # The steps that matter are: | |
| # 1) g++ -std=c++11 -isystem $GOOGLETEST_DIR/include -I$GOOGLETEST_DIR -pthread -c $GOOGLETEST_DIR/src/gtest-all.cc -o gtest-all.o | |
| # 2) libtool -static -o libgtest.a gtest-all.o | |

| # Link the static library | |
| # In the docs, this step is done using the following command | |
| # myshell$ ar -rv libgtest.a gtest-all.o | |
| # This DID NOT work on my Mac... so I replaced it with the following which seems to work nicely | |

All that is required is adding this script to your main project directory, giving it execute permissions (e.g. running$ chmod 777 googleTestSetup.sh, then$ ./googleTestSetup.sh). Then you can compile your test cases with the normalg++ -std=c++11 -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -pthread path/to/your_test.cc libgtest.a \ -o your_test
