下载

下载地址为https://github.com/google/googletest/tags，以版本release-1.10.0的tar.gz包为例，下载完成后的文件为 googletest-release-1.10.0.tar.gz。

安装

googletest使用CMake来进行构建。

使用命令tar -zxvf googletest-release-1.10.0.tar.gz解压缩，解压缩完成后，目录googletest-release-1.10.0结构如下：

[root@instance-1apocjsh googletest-release-1.10.0]# tree -L 1 -C
.
├── appveyor.yml
├── BUILD.bazel
├── ci
├── CMakeLists.txt
├── CONTRIBUTING.md
├── googlemock
├── googletest
├── library.json
├── LICENSE
├── platformio.ini
├── README.md
└── WORKSPACE

使用命令mkdir build创建构建目录，然后进入build(命令cd build)，使用命令build ../googletest构建Makefile，

[root@instance-1apocjsh build]# cmake ../googletest/

  Update the VERSION argument <min> value or use a ...<max> suffix to tell
  CMake that the project does not need compatibility with older versions.

然后使用命令make -j8进行编译。

[root@instance-1apocjsh build]# make -j8
[ 25%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/gtest.dir/src/gtest-all.cc.o
[ 50%] Linking CXX static library lib/libgtest.a
[ 50%] Built target gtest
[ 75%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/gtest_main.dir/src/gtest_main.cc.o
[100%] Linking CXX static library lib/libgtest_main.a
[100%] Built target gtest_main

注意，如果编译有报错，需要指定使用C++11语法进行编译，
修改googletest/CMakeLists.txt，在其中添加使用C++11语法的命令set (CMAKE_CXX_STANDARD 11)，再重新进行操作。

编译完成后，生成的静态库文件位于build/lib中，头文件位于googletest/include中。
将静态库和头文件一起整理放到新文件夹googletest中，方便使用。googletest目录结构如下：

[root@instance-1apocjsh googletest]# tree
