sudo apt-get install libgtest-dev
sudo apt-get install cmake # install cmake
cd /usr/src/gtest
sudo cmake CMakeLists.txt
sudo make
sudo cp *.a /usr/lib
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgtest.a /usr/local/lib/gtest/libgtest.a
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgtest_main.a /usr/local/lib/gtest/libgtest_main.a
so which is better approach ?
what i got when i ran sudo cp libgtest* /usr/lib/

@georgegoldman I can't see the photo you uploaded, but I reckon your error relates to this:
Apparently, libgtest* files will be stored inside the lib directory so instead, you should run
sudo cp lib/libgtest* /usr/lib/
I combined all the answers above and minorly modified it, it worked on GitHub actions with -ubuntu-latest as well.
sudo apt-get install -y libgtest-dev cmake
mkdir -p $HOME/build
cd $HOME/build
sudo cmake /usr/src/googletest/googletest
sudo make
sudo cp lib/libgtest* /usr/lib/
cd ..
sudo rm -rf build
sudo mkdir /usr/local/lib/googletest
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgtest.a /usr/local/lib/googletest/libgtest.a
sudo ln -s /usr/lib/libgtest_main.a /usr/local/lib/googletest/libgtest_main.a
Thanks! Works like awesome.
Hello guys, I've managed to install GTest & Gmock from the git repo:
