Build and configuration¶

Build¶

xtl build supports the following options:

BUILD_TESTS: enables the xtest target (see below).
DOWNLOAD_GTEST: downloads gtest and builds it locally instead of using a binary installation.
GTEST_SRC_DIR: indicates where to find the gtest sources instead of downloading them.

All these options are disabled by default. Enabling DOWNLOAD_GTEST or setting GTEST_SRC_DIR enables BUILD_TESTS.

If the BUILD_TESTS option is enabled, the following target is available:

For instance, building the test suite of xtl where the sources of gtest are located in e.g. /usr/share/gtest:

mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DGTEST_SRC_DIR=/usr/share/gtest ../
make xtest
