Googletest: Xcode project for gmock

[kdawgwilk]

I have been using gtest project and would like to be able to use gmock as well but there doesn't appear to be a Xcode project for building gmock.

You can use Cmake to autogenerate an Xcode project for gmock, or you can just use Cmake to build.

$ cd googletest-release-1.8.0/
$ cd googlemock/
$ ls
$ mkdir xcode
$ cd xcode 

Build with cmake

$ cmake ..

Create Xcode project from Cmake

$ cmake -G Xcode ..

Output looks like:

Open Xcode project

$ ls
CMakeCache.txt      CMakeScripts        gmock.xcodeproj
CMakeFiles      cmake_install.cmake gtest
$ open gmock.xcodeproj/

Is there a flag to create a dynamic framework target instead?

I have been cleaning up older and inactive GitHub googletest issues. You may see an issue "closed" if it appears to be inactive/abandoned
Thank you
