I put my tests in a library and Google Test doesn't run them - GCC 4.8 #481

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

I have the reference project at https://github.com/tinkerbeast/myJunk.

Just do:

    mkdir build
    cd build
    cmake ../
    make
    ./run_tests

This does not execute any test cases in my local environment. This seemed to 
work on travis-ci.org, so I was wondering if this is some GCC / environmental 
issue. My GCC is:

Using built-in specs.

Make sure the *_test libraries are actually linked into the final binary.
The linker might be excluding them because you are not using any symbol from it 
on you main file.

That is for VC++, but it applies to gcc also. I think --whole-archive can be 
used for gcc to force the library to be linked.

You were right: The *_test libraries weren't linked to the final binary. It 
wasn't a CMake specific error, GCC just won't link unreferenced libraries. The 
--whole-archive flag doesn't work either - You have to use --no-as-needed. 

Thanks for all your help. I'll probably introduce fake dependencies to make it 
work in a cleaner way.

Shouldn't this information be added in the FAQ? Anybody upgrading to the newer 
compiler should face this.
