See:

A suggestion about dealing with Ggoogle Test: We have to build the GTest
libraries from source with the same compiler options as the rest of the
library, see

http://code.google.com/p/googletest/wiki/FAQ#Why_is_it_not_recommended_to_install_a_pre-compiled_copy_of_Goog

On Debian/Ubuntu Linux, "apt-get install libgtest-dev" will put the
sources in /usr/src/gtest and the headers in /usr/include/gtest. I
propose we make our configury do something similar to what we do with
SQLite amalgamation; e.g., get-deps.sh could download and unpack the
GTest sources into ./gtest, and configure could find them there unless
told to look elsewhere.

Windows will be a bit trickier, but if you can make it work on Linux,
that's quite good enough, so don't worry about Windows at this point.
