There is +also an IRC channel on OFTC (irc.oftc.net) #gtest available. Please +join us! + +Please note that code under scripts/generator/ is from the [cppclean +project](http://code.google.com/p/cppclean/) and under the Apache +License, which is different from Google Mock's license. + +Requirements for End Users +-------------------------- + +Google Mock is implemented on top of the [Google Test C++ testing +framework](http://github.com/google/googletest/), and depends on it. +You must use the bundled version of Google Test when using Google Mock, or +you may get compiler/linker errors. + +You can also easily configure Google Mock to work with another testing +framework of your choice; although it will still need Google Test as +an internal dependency. Please read + +for how to do it. + +Google Mock depends on advanced C++ features and thus requires a more +modern compiler. The following are needed to use Google Mock: + +### Linux Requirements ### + +These are the base requirements to build and use Google Mock from a source +package (as described below): + + * GNU-compatible Make or "gmake" + * POSIX-standard shell + * POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h) + * C++98-standard-compliant compiler (e.g. GCC 3.4 or newer) + +### Windows Requirements ### + + * Microsoft Visual C++ 8.0 SP1 or newer + +### Mac OS X Requirements ### + + * Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger or newer + * Developer Tools Installed + +Requirements for Contributors +----------------------------- + +We welcome patches. If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to +build Google Mock and its own tests from an SVN checkout (described +below), which has further requirements: + + * Automake version 1.9 or newer + * Autoconf version 2.59 or newer + * Libtool / Libtoolize + * Python version 2.3 or newer (for running some of the tests and + re-generating certain source files from templates) + +Getting the Source +------------------ + +There are two primary ways of getting Google Mock's source code: you +can download a [stable source release](releases), +or directly check out the source from our Git repository. +The Git checkout requires a few extra steps and some extra software +packages on your system, but lets you track development and make +patches much more easily, so we highly encourage it. + +### Git Checkout ### + +To check out the master branch of Google Mock, run the following git command: + + git clone https://github.com/google/googlemock.git + +If you are using a \*nix system and plan to use the GNU Autotools build +system to build Google Mock (described below), you'll need to +configure it now. Otherwise you are done with getting the source +files. + +To prepare the Autotools build system, enter the target directory of +the checkout command you used ('gmock-svn') and proceed with the +following command: + + autoreconf -fvi + +Once you have completed this step, you are ready to build the library. +Note that you should only need to complete this step once. The +subsequent 'make' invocations will automatically re-generate the bits +of the build system that need to be changed. + +If your system uses older versions of the autotools, the above command +will fail. You may need to explicitly specify a version to use. For +instance, if you have both GNU Automake 1.4 and 1.9 installed and +'automake' would invoke the 1.4, use instead: + + AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9 ACLOCAL=aclocal-1.9 autoreconf -fvi + +Make sure you're using the same version of automake and aclocal. + +Setting up the Build +-------------------- + +To build Google Mock and your tests that use it, you need to tell your +build system where to find its headers and source files. The exact +way to do it depends on which build system you use, and is usually +straightforward. + +### Generic Build Instructions ### + +This section shows how you can integrate Google Mock into your +existing build system. + +Suppose you put Google Mock in directory ${GMOCK\_DIR} and Google Test +in ${GTEST\_DIR} (the latter is ${GMOCK\_DIR}/gtest by default). To +build Google Mock, create a library build target (or a project as +called by Visual Studio and Xcode) to compile + + ${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc and ${GMOCK_DIR}/src/gmock-all.cc + +with + + ${GTEST_DIR}/include and ${GMOCK_DIR}/include + +in the system header search path, and + + ${GTEST_DIR} and ${GMOCK_DIR} + +in the normal header search path. Assuming a Linux-like system and gcc, +something like the following will do: + + g++ -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -I${GTEST_DIR} \ + -isystem ${GMOCK_DIR}/include -I${GMOCK_DIR} \ + -pthread -c ${GTEST_DIR}/src/gtest-all.cc + g++ -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -I${GTEST_DIR} \ + -isystem ${GMOCK_DIR}/include -I${GMOCK_DIR} \ + -pthread -c ${GMOCK_DIR}/src/gmock-all.cc + ar -rv libgmock.a gtest-all.o gmock-all.o + +(We need -pthread as Google Test and Google Mock use threads.) + +Next, you should compile your test source file with +${GTEST\_DIR}/include and ${GMOCK\_DIR}/include in the header search +path, and link it with gmock and any other necessary libraries: + + g++ -isystem ${GTEST_DIR}/include -isystem ${GMOCK_DIR}/include \ + -pthread path/to/your_test.cc libgmock.a -o your_test + +As an example, the make/ directory contains a Makefile that you can +use to build Google Mock on systems where GNU make is available +(e.g. Linux, Mac OS X, and Cygwin). It doesn't try to build Google +Mock's own tests. Instead, it just builds the Google Mock library and +a sample test. You can use it as a starting point for your own build +script. + +If the default settings are correct for your environment, the +following commands should succeed: + + cd ${GMOCK_DIR}/make + make + ./gmock_test + +If you see errors, try to tweak the contents of [make/Makefile](make/Makefile) to make them go away. + +### Windows ### + +The msvc/2005 directory contains VC++ 2005 projects and the msvc/2010 +directory contains VC++ 2010 projects for building Google Mock and +selected tests. + +Change to the appropriate directory and run "msbuild gmock.sln" to +build the library and tests (or open the gmock.sln in the MSVC IDE). +If you want to create your own project to use with Google Mock, you'll +have to configure it to use the `gmock_config` propety sheet. For that: + + * Open the Property Manager window (View | Other Windows | Property Manager) + * Right-click on your project and select "Add Existing Property Sheet..." + * Navigate to `gmock_config.vsprops` or `gmock_config.props` and select it. + * In Project Properties | Configuration Properties | General | Additional + Include Directories, type /include. + +Tweaking Google Mock +-------------------- + +Google Mock can be used in diverse environments. The default +configuration may not work (or may not work well) out of the box in +some environments. However, you can easily tweak Google Mock by +defining control macros on the compiler command line. Generally, +these macros are named like `GTEST_XYZ` and you define them to either 1 +or 0 to enable or disable a certain feature. + +We list the most frequently used macros below. For a complete list, +see file [${GTEST\_DIR}/include/gtest/internal/gtest-port.h]( +../googletest/include/gtest/internal/gtest-port.h). + +### Choosing a TR1 Tuple Library ### + +Google Mock uses the C++ Technical Report 1 (TR1) tuple library +heavily. Unfortunately TR1 tuple is not yet widely available with all +compilers. The good news is that Google Test 1.4.0+ implements a +subset of TR1 tuple that's enough for Google Mock's need. Google Mock +will automatically use that implementation when the compiler doesn't +provide TR1 tuple. + +Usually you don't need to care about which tuple library Google Test +and Google Mock use. However, if your project already uses TR1 tuple, +you need to tell Google Test and Google Mock to use the same TR1 tuple +library the rest of your project uses, or the two tuple +implementations will clash. To do that, add + + -DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=0 + +to the compiler flags while compiling Google Test, Google Mock, and +your tests. If you want to force Google Test and Google Mock to use +their own tuple library, just add + + -DGTEST_USE_OWN_TR1_TUPLE=1 + +to the compiler flags instead. + +If you want to use Boost's TR1 tuple library with Google Mock, please +refer to the Boost website (http://www.boost.org/) for how to obtain +it and set it up. + +### As a Shared Library (DLL) ### + +Google Mock is compact, so most users can build and link it as a static +library for the simplicity. Google Mock can be used as a DLL, but the +same DLL must contain Google Test as well. See +[Google Test's README][gtest_readme] +for instructions on how to set up necessary compiler settings. + +### Tweaking Google Mock ### + +Most of Google Test's control macros apply to Google Mock as well. +Please see [Google Test's README][gtest_readme] for how to tweak them. + +Upgrading from an Earlier Version +--------------------------------- + +We strive to keep Google Mock releases backward compatible. +Sometimes, though, we have to make some breaking changes for the +users' long-term benefits. This section describes what you'll need to +do if you are upgrading from an earlier version of Google Mock. + +### Upgrading from 1.1.0 or Earlier ### + +You may need to explicitly enable or disable Google Test's own TR1 +tuple library. See the instructions in section "[Choosing a TR1 Tuple +Library](../googletest/#choosing-a-tr1-tuple-library)". + +### Upgrading from 1.4.0 or Earlier ### + +On platforms where the pthread library is available, Google Test and +Google Mock use it in order to be thread-safe. For this to work, you +may need to tweak your compiler and/or linker flags. Please see the +"[Multi-threaded Tests](../googletest#multi-threaded-tests +)" section in file Google Test's README for what you may need to do. + +If you have custom matchers defined using `MatcherInterface` or +`MakePolymorphicMatcher()`, you'll need to update their definitions to +use the new matcher API ( +[monomorphic](http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/wiki/CookBook#Writing_New_Monomorphic_Matchers), +[polymorphic](http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/wiki/CookBook#Writing_New_Polymorphic_Matchers)). +Matchers defined using `MATCHER()` or `MATCHER_P*()` aren't affected. + + +Developing Google Mock +---------------------- + +This section discusses how to make your own changes to Google Mock. + +### Testing Google Mock Itself ### + +To make sure your changes work as intended and don't break existing +functionality, you'll want to compile and run Google Test's own tests. +For that you'll need Autotools. First, make sure you have followed +the instructions in section "SVN Checkout" to configure Google Mock. +Then, create a build output directory and enter it. Next, + + ${GMOCK_DIR}/configure # Standard GNU configure script, --help for more info + +Once you have successfully configured Google Mock, the build steps are +standard for GNU-style OSS packages. + + make # Standard makefile following GNU conventions + make check # Builds and runs all tests - all should pass. + +Note that when building your project against Google Mock, you are building +against Google Test as well. There is no need to configure Google Test +separately. + +### Regenerating Source Files ### + +Some of Google Mock's source files are generated from templates (not +in the C++ sense) using a script. A template file is named FOO.pump, +where FOO is the name of the file it will generate. For example, the +file `include/gmock/gmock-generated-actions.h.pump` is used to generate +`gmock-generated-actions.h` in the same directory. + +Normally you don't need to worry about regenerating the source files, +unless you need to modify them. In that case, you should modify the +corresponding `.pump` files instead and run the 'pump' script (for Pump +is Useful for Meta Programming) to regenerate them. You can find +pump.py in the `${GTEST_DIR}/scripts/` directory. Read the +[Pump manual](http://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/PumpManual) +for how to use it. + + +### Contributing a Patch ### + +We welcome patches. Please read the [Google Mock developer's Guide]( +http://code.google.com/p/googlemock/wiki/DevGuide) +for how you can contribute. In particular, make sure you have signed +the Contributor License Agreement, or we won't be able to accept the +patch. + + +Happy testing! + +[gtest_readme]: ../googletest/ "googletest" -- cgit v1.2.3
