I am using Waf as a build tool to build a C++ library. I had earlier been using GCC 4.8.x and using std=c++98, and it was working fine

However, when I tried to change the compiler version to GCC 7.2, there were a host of issues all related to Gtest. Ex : undefined reference to `testing::internal::PrintStringTo

I would be grateful if someone could kindly share some information on how to eliminate this issue, while retaining the unit tests written through Gtest

regards, Tej

    Are you still trying to use the same gtest library binary, or did you rebuild the library using gcc 7.2? – aschepler Feb 26 '18 at 04:17

    Hi aschepler, I did not rebuild the binary, which is probably why it is causing a mismatch when trying to link. Can you kindly let me know how I can install gtest source and build it with GCC 7.x ? -Tej – Tejaswi Haramurali Feb 26 '18 at 04:22
  • what gtest version you are using? Latest or some earlier? What C++ standard - c++98, C++11, C++14 or C++17 (latest) or just default for gcc7.2 (C++14 I guess)? – PiotrNycz Mar 01 '18 at 11:41
  • having same issue. Have you found any fixes? – Kanwar Saad Nov 18 '18 at 00:19

gtest is depended from used compiler, so, take a gtest source code wget https://github.com/google/googletest/archive/release-1.8.0.tar.gz and install it using your compiler as a default compiler
