RPM specification file, and packaging scripts for the Google Test library.

The purpose of this project is to build gtest RPMs with the alternative devtoolset tool chains (e.g., devtoolset-2-toolchain) on RHEL 6. If you are using one of these tool chains (e.g, because you need a more recent compiler on RHEL 6) and want to use gtest with them, you'll need to build gtest with the tool chain you are using and install it in the appropriate location for the used tool chain.

To build an RPM, such as gtest-devtoolset2-1.8.0:

./bin/build.sh

You can run ./bin/build.sh --help to see the options you can specify.

The built RPMs will end up under build/RPMS.

You'll need to have Docker installed, if you're not running on RHEL 6.

You'll need a username and password for a registered Red Hat user with a RHEL 6 subscription (to be able to access Yum packages).

The RPMs will be built for the processor your machine is running. Cross-compilation has not been implemented.

To clean build files:

./bin/clean.sh

To use gtest with a devtoolset on RHEL 6 install the built RPM, and source /opt/rh/devtoolset-2/enable (substituting the version of the devtoolset you are using).
