hi

My current requirement when configuring my project:
build and run gtest-based unit tests if gtest is found, otherwise ignore.

Am I supposed to be able to use this ??
dnl GTEST_LIB_CHECK([minimum version [,
dnl action if found [,action if not found]]])

I'm hitting AC_MSG_ERROR, which aborts, if gtest cannot be found,
so the [action if not found] seems a bit misleading.

Yes.

I need more information here to determine where the problem resides.
What version of gtest.m4? (head, a release?) What is the exact way you
are using it in your configure.ac? What is the exact output it
provides? How are you running the './configure' step when it does
this?

Thanks!

I'm running from head of the svn branch.
Copied gtest.m4 to current directory.
