Make not producing all the expected libraries

I'm trying to make "google mock" but I'm only getting one library: gmock_main.a

Why is gmock.a not being produced? The four .o files are produced.

Thanks,

Barry.

# A sample Makefile for building both Google Mock and Google Test and
# using them in user tests.  This file is self-contained, so you don't
# need to use the Makefile in Google Test's source tree.  Please tweak
# it to suit your environment and project.  You may want to move it to
# your project's root directory.
#
# SYNOPSIS:
#
#   make [all]  - makes everything.
#   make TARGET - makes the given target.
#   make clean  - removes all files generated by make.

#开发者_运维百科 Please tweak the following variable definitions as needed by your
# project, except GMOCK_HEADERS and GTEST_HEADERS, which you can use
# in your own targets but shouldn't modify.

# Points to the root of Google Test, relative to where this file is.
# Remember to tweak this if you move this file, or if you want to use
# a copy of Google Test at a different location.

# Points to the root of Google Mock, relative to where this file is.
# Remember to tweak this if you move this file.

# Where to find user code.

# created to the list.

# Builds gmock.a and gmock_main.a.  These libraries contain both
# Google Mock and Google Test.  A test should link with either gmock.a
# or gmock_main.a, depending on whether it defines its own main()

# Test (and not Google Mock).

I'm going to go out on a limb here. I'll bet you're giving it the command make all. The comment

#   make [all]  - makes everything.

is misleading. In fact, make all makes only gmock_test (and the things which that target needs, namely gmock_main.a and the four object files). If you want to make gmock.a, you have a couple of choices:

1) make gmock.a

2) Add gmock.a to the all target, like this:

all : $(TESTS) gmock.a

3) Write a rule for some other thing, like an executable, which actually needs gmock.a:

real_thing: gmock.a
