#### Incorporating Into An Existing CMake Project
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to use gtest in a project which already uses CMake, then a more
|
||||
robust and flexible approach is to build gtest as part of that project directly.
|
||||
This is done by making the GoogleTest source code available to the main build
|
||||
and adding it using CMake's `add_subdirectory()` command. This has the
|
||||
significant advantage that the same compiler and linker settings are used
|
||||
between gtest and the rest of your project, so issues associated with using
|
||||
incompatible libraries (eg debug/release), etc. are avoided. This is
|
||||
particularly useful on Windows. Making GoogleTest's source code available to the

||||
The easiest way to use Google Test is importing installed libraries and headers.
|
||||
|
||||
* Import Google Test by using `find_package` (or `pkg_check_modules`).
|
||||
For example, if `find_package(GTest CONFIG REQUIRED)` is succeed,
|
||||
you can use the libraries as `GTest::gtest`, `GTest::gmock`.
