## Using GoogleTest from various build systems
|
||||
|
||||
GoogleTest comes with pkg-config files that can be used to determine all
|
||||
necessary flags for compiling and linking to GoogleTest (and GoogleMock).
|
||||
Pkg-config is a standardised plain-text format containing
|
||||
|
||||
* the includedir (-I) path
|
||||
* necessary macro (-D) definitions
|
||||
* further required flags (-pthread)
|
||||
* the library (-L) path
|
||||
* the library (-l) to link to
|
||||
|
||||
All current build systems support pkg-config in one way or another. For all
|
||||
examples here we assume you want to compile the sample
|
||||
`samples/sample3_unittest.cc`.
|
||||
|
||||
### CMake
|
||||
|
||||
Using `pkg-config` in CMake is fairly easy:
|
||||
|
||||
```cmake
|
||||
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.0)
|
||||
|
||||
cmake_policy(SET CMP0048 NEW)
|
||||
project(my_gtest_pkgconfig VERSION 0.0.1 LANGUAGES CXX)
|
||||
|
||||
find_package(PkgConfig)
|
||||
pkg_search_module(GTEST REQUIRED gtest_main)
|
||||
|
||||
add_executable(testapp samples/sample3_unittest.cc)
|
||||
target_link_libraries(testapp ${GTEST_LDFLAGS})
|
||||
target_compile_options(testapp PUBLIC ${GTEST_CFLAGS})
|
||||
|
||||
include(CTest)
|
||||
add_test(first_and_only_test testapp)
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
It is generally recommended that you use `target_compile_options` + `_CFLAGS`
|
||||
over `target_include_directories` + `_INCLUDE_DIRS` as the former includes not
|
||||
just -I flags (GoogleTest might require a macro indicating to internal headers
|
||||
that all libraries have been compiled with threading enabled. In addition,
|
||||
GoogleTest might also require `-pthread` in the compiling step, and as such
|
||||
splitting the pkg-config `Cflags` variable into include dirs and macros for
|
||||
`target_compile_definitions()` might still miss this). The same recommendation
|
||||
goes for using `_LDFLAGS` over the more commonplace `_LIBRARIES`, which happens
|
||||
to discard `-L` flags and `-pthread`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Help! pkg-config can't find GoogleTest!
|
||||
|
||||
Let's say you have a `CMakeLists.txt` along the lines of the one in this
|
||||
tutorial and you try to run `cmake`. It is very possible that you get a failure
|
||||
along the lines of:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
-- Checking for one of the modules 'gtest_main'
|
||||
CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake/Modules/FindPkgConfig.cmake:640 (message):
|
||||
None of the required 'gtest_main' found
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
These failures are common if you installed GoogleTest yourself and have not
|
||||
sourced it from a distro or other package manager. If so, you need to tell
|
||||
pkg-config where it can find the `.pc` files containing the information. Say you
|
||||
installed GoogleTest to `/usr/local`, then it might be that the `.pc` files are
|
||||
installed under `/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig`. If you set
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib64/pkgconfig
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
pkg-config will also try to look in `PKG_CONFIG_PATH` to find `gtest_main.pc`.
|
||||
|
||||
### Using pkg-config in a cross-compilation setting
|
||||
|
||||
Pkg-config can be used in a cross-compilation setting too. To do this, let's
|
||||
assume the final prefix of the cross-compiled installation will be `/usr`, and
|
||||
your sysroot is `/home/MYUSER/sysroot`. Configure and install GTest using
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
mkdir build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Install into the sysroot using `DESTDIR`:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
make -j install DESTDIR=/home/MYUSER/sysroot
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Before we continue, it is recommended to **always** define the following two
|
||||
variables for pkg-config in a cross-compilation setting:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
export PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_CFLAGS=yes
|
||||
export PKG_CONFIG_ALLOW_SYSTEM_LIBS=yes
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
otherwise `pkg-config` will filter `-I` and `-L` flags against standard prefixes
|
||||
such as `/usr` (see https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=28264#c3 for
|
||||
reasons why this stripping needs to occur usually).
|
||||
|
||||
If you look at the generated pkg-config file, it will look something like
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
libdir=/usr/lib64
|
||||
includedir=/usr/include
|
||||
|
||||
Name: gtest
|
||||
Description: GoogleTest (without main() function)
|
||||
Version: 1.11.0
|
||||
URL: https://github.com/google/googletest
|
||||
Libs: -L${libdir} -lgtest -lpthread
|
||||
Cflags: -I${includedir} -DGTEST_HAS_PTHREAD=1 -lpthread
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Notice that the sysroot is not included in `libdir` and `includedir`! If you try
|
||||
to run `pkg-config` with the correct
|
||||
`PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=/home/MYUSER/sysroot/usr/lib64/pkgconfig` against this `.pc`
|
||||
file, you will get
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ pkg-config --cflags gtest
|
||||
-DGTEST_HAS_PTHREAD=1 -lpthread -I/usr/include
|
||||
$ pkg-config --libs gtest
|
||||
-L/usr/lib64 -lgtest -lpthread
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
which is obviously wrong and points to the `CBUILD` and not `CHOST` root. In
|
||||
order to use this in a cross-compilation setting, we need to tell pkg-config to
|
||||
inject the actual sysroot into `-I` and `-L` variables. Let us now tell
|
||||
pkg-config about the actual sysroot
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
export PKG_CONFIG_DIR=
|
||||
export PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR=/home/MYUSER/sysroot
|
||||
export PKG_CONFIG_LIBDIR=${PKG_CONFIG_SYSROOT_DIR}/usr/lib64/pkgconfig
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
and running `pkg-config` again we get
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
$ pkg-config --cflags gtest
|
||||
-DGTEST_HAS_PTHREAD=1 -lpthread -I/home/MYUSER/sysroot/usr/include
|
||||
$ pkg-config --libs gtest
|
||||
-L/home/MYUSER/sysroot/usr/lib64 -lgtest -lpthread
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
which contains the correct sysroot now. For a more comprehensive guide to also
|
||||
including `${CHOST}` in build system calls, see the excellent tutorial by Diego
|
