Revision history [back]

The reason for not carrying gtest as a formula anymore is that Google actually suggests against a pre-built gtest library, instead they figure you should build gtest with your project to ensure similar build flags.

See: http://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/FAQ#Why_is_it_not_recommended_to_install_a_pre-compiled_copy_of_Goog

There are open tickets related to this problem.

In the short term installing gtest manually will work, but a better long term solution is in progress.
