The issue seems to be with making/running the tests. If you just wanna build it just to run it and just believe that the tests will pass, you can comment out the line that includes the tests directory

from CMakeLists.txt change

add_subdirectory(tests)

to

#add_subdirectory(tests)

and it should work.

If you're making changes to the source, please ignore this and make sure your build passes the tests

Commenting out the tests hardly seems like the right answer. Is there a better way to make cmake find the gmock stuff?

Despite the fact that this issue is very old and only has a few comments, I'm encountering the same issue on Ubuntu 18.04. I've installed all of the prerequisites listed on the "Compiling from Source" page, and it compiles just fine if I comment out the tests, but I sure would like to be able to run them.

Apparently the reason for this is that versions of Ubuntu prior to 18.10 did not include the libraries for gmock and gest, only the source code. You are expected to build the libraries yourself. See this for some more information:
https://askubuntu.com/questions/219516/howto-install-google-mock-on-ubuntu-12-10

To build & install the libraries manually, do something like this:

sudo -i
cd /usr/src/googletest/googletest
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
cp *.a /usr/lib/
cd /usr/src/googletest/googlemock
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ..
make -j4
cp *.a /usr/lib/

With the libraries build from googletest and googlemock in your /usr/lib/ directory, you should now be able to build Clementine's tests.
