CMake cannot find GoogleTest required library in Ubuntu

Question

Similar issue here.

This is my CMakeLists.txt:

cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.6)

# Locate GTest
find_package(GTest REQUIRED)
include_directories($

Some time ago I created a dockerfile and it helps me to keep a kind of recipe for installing later on google test on my systems:

apt-get install -y git g++ make cmake 
git clone https://github.com/google/googletest.git
cd googletest
mkdir gbuild && cd gbuild && cmake .. && make
cp -r googletest/include/gtest /usr/local/include
cp gbuild/googlemock/gtest/lib*.a /usr/local/lib
cp gbuild/googlemock/lib*.a /usr/local/lib

I hope it helps :)
