Requirements
------------
Google Test is designed to have fairly minimal requirements to build and use
with your projects, but there are some. Currently, the only Operating System
(OS) on which Google Test is known to build properly is Linux, but we are
actively working on Windows and Mac support as well. The source code itself is
already portable across many other platforms, but we are still developing
robust build systems for each.
Google Test is designed to have fairly minimal requirements to build
and use with your projects, but there are some. Currently, we support
building Google Test on Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Cygwin. We will
also make our best effort to support other platforms (e.g. Solaris and
IBM z/OS). However, since core members of the Google Test project
have no access to them, Google Test may have outstanding issues on
these platforms. If you notice any problems on your platform, please
notify googletestframework@googlegroups.com (patches for fixing them
are even more welcome!).

### Using Your Own Build System ###
If none of the build solutions we provide works for you, or if you
prefer your own build system, you just need to compile
src/gtest-all.cc into a library and link your tests with it. Assuming
a Linux-like system and gcc, something like the following will do:
$ cd ${SRCDIR}
$ g++ -I. -I./include -c src/gtest-all.cc
$ ar -rv libgtest.a gtest-all.o
$ g++ -I. -I./include path/to/your_test.cc libgtest.a -o your_test
Regenerating Source Files
-------------------------
Some of Google Test's source files are generated from templates (not
in the C++ sense) using a script. A template file is named FOO.pump,
where FOO is the name of the file it will generate. For example, the
