#48800: gtest: please remove ---------------------------+--------------------- Reporter: ryandesign@… | Owner: blair@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: Resolution: | Keywords: Port: gtest | ---------------------------+--------------------- Comment (by ryandesign@…): The Google Test Makefile contains these comments: {{{ # Disables 'make install' as installing a compiled version of Google # Test can lead to undefined behavior due to violation of the # One-Definition Rule. }}} And this line: {{{ echo "'make install' is dangerous and not supported. Instead, see README for how to integrate Google Test into your build system." }}} This seems to make clear that a package manager like MacPorts should not include Google Test, nor should any other means be used to install Google Test into a public location. Projects should only use private copies of Google Test in their build systems for testing. The developers of GRPC should be directed to these facts and advised to include a copy of Google Test in their project, and not advocate installing Google Test into the MacPorts prefix. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.macports.org/ticket/48800#comment:2> MacPorts <https://www.macports.org/> Ports system for OS X
