Basic setup

Project setup

If you handle multiple dependencies in your project, it would be better to add a conanfile.txt

[requires]
gtest/1.8.0@lasote/stable

[options]
gtest:shared=False
gtest:include_pdbs=false # MSVC - include debug symbols

[generators]
txt
cmake

Complete the installation of requirements for your project running:

conan install .

Project setup installs the library (and all his dependencies) and generates the files conanbuildinfo.txt and conanbuildinfo.cmake with all the necessary paths and variables needed to link with the other dependencies.

Ubuntu 16.04 support

On Ubuntu and using clang, we have found that linking with this package may cause the "undefined reference" issue if not linked to libstdc++11 (see also #23).

This is the recommended build command:

$ conan install .. -s compiler=clang -s compiler.version=3.6 \
    -s compiler.libcxx=libstdc++11 --build=missing

Also, make sure to use the gtest:shared=False option, as shown above.
