Install gtest on gh actions

Usage

action.yml:

- name: Install gtest
  uses: MarkusJx/[email protected]

On linux

• The libraries will be located in /usr/lib
• The headers to include will be located in /usr/include

On windows

• The libraries will be located in D:/gtest/lib
• The headers to include will be located in D:/gtest/include

On macOs

• The libraries will be located in /usr/local/lib
• The headers to include will be located in /usr/local/include

To set the correct paths, you could add to your CMakeLists.txt:

if (DEFINED ENV{GITHUB_ACTIONS})
  if (WIN32)
    link_directories("D:/gtest/lib")
    include_directories("D:/gtest/include")

    set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE "/MT")
    set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG "/MTd")
  elseif (APPLE)
    link_directories("/usr/local/lib")
    include_directories("/usr/local/include")
  endif ()
endif ()

googletest-installer's Issues

Add CXX and C flags options

I need to pass -fPIC to the google test build. Can CXX and C flags options be added?

Issue on windows

Hi

I tested on windows but it fails. it seems that the location where gtest will be installed is not correct.

I put the following code in my cmakelist.txt

if (DEFINED ENV{GITHUB_ACTIONS})
  if (WIN32)
    link_directories("D:/gtest/lib")
    include_directories("D:/gtest/include")

    set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE "/MT")
    set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_DEBUG "/MTd")
  elseif (APPLE)
    link_directories("/usr/local/lib")
    include_directories("/usr/local/include")
  endif ()
endif ()

CXX_Path and CC_PAH is not working.

Hello,
thanks for this nice gtest installer.
I'm using the github action to run google tests on different platforms. On windows I use MINGW instead of MSVC.
When I set the CXX_Path and CC_Path flags It detects the right compiler and sets the right CMake flags but finally builds it again using MSVC.

gmock not found

Hi!
You also need to copy gmock headers:

sudo cp -R googletest/googlemock/include/gmock /usr/include
