Chris,

Which <path-to-source> or <path-to-build> do I use for cmake after running the install script?

Hi John,

change to the directory tests/tools, then run the install script instead of sourcing it. The script downloads the sources of GTest and compiles them. Finally the script instructs you to set the environment variable GTEST_ROOT, which is not necessary if changed to directory tests/tools in the first step (cmake should then find GTest automaticly).

I'll change the documentation.

I have built OPAL (v1.5.00.1) and I would like to run the unit tests.  The instructions to run the unit tests in appendix A.3 of the user manual are not consistent with the current location of files in the OPAL distribution.  So I am confused.

I found “install_gtest.bash” in /home/jlow/opal/160222/src/tests/tools.  I “sourced” it and it appears to have installed gtest in /home/jlow/opal/160222/src/tests/tools.

Unfortunately I tried to do the next step and the cmake did not work because there were no cmake files for it to work with.  I tried cmaking in  /home/jlow/opal/160222/src and /home/jlow/opal/build without much success. 

Could someone send me updated instructions with current paths on how to run the unit tests?

Thanks,
