[Cucumber C]PP] build issue with cucumber cpp in windows and with visual studio

[Vinu Rout]

Hello, 

I am new to Cucumber Cpp. I ma trying to setup an environment for cucumber cpp in windows 10 and with visual studio.

My current environment is as  follow

OS: Windows 10 

Visual Studio Community Edition 2017

CMake Version:3.14.3

Ruby Version: 2.5.5p157 (2019-03-15 revision 67260) [x64-mingw32]

Boost Library Version: 1.69.0

I followed the steps mentioned in Readme.md

Building Cucumber-Cpp with tests and samples:

```

# Download test suite

git submodule init

git submodule update

# Create build directory

cmake -E make_directory build

# Generate Makefiles

cmake -E chdir build cmake -DCUKE_ENABLE_EXAMPLES=on -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${prefix} ..

# Build cucumber-cpp and tests

cmake --build build

I am facing build issue with GTest component. Below is the error message

========================================================

Even I tried to build it with visual studio. Same error comes

Anybody has faced same issue. 

I would appreciate any solution or suggestion.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi

I had the same issue, the cmake is pulling in release 1.7 from googmock which is no longer the central repository. I manually pulled googletest (which now has mock) and built it first. When you build it make sure to add  -Dgtest_force_shared_crt=on to the cmake command line to force the CRT to dynamic link.

I also changed the installation location, so my cmake was "cmake . -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="*somepath*\googletest-distribution" -Dgtest_force_shared_crt=on"

When building Cucumber-cpp I added the following to cmake "-DBOOST_ROOT="*somepath*\boost_1_69_0" -DGMOCK_ROOT="*somepath*\googletest-distribution" -DGTEST_ROOT="*somepath*\googletest-distribution""
