Message-ID: <CAOP=4wh+2__kbiRoHy0hdTtdhdRzE-d9fkUhh2mqoHwuK9=p9g@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi, Cap'n Proto upstream author here. Noticed this thread in a Google
search, thought I'd comment.

To shed some light on the googletest situation:

The googletest maintainers have deemed that googletest should never
ever be system-installed, and have even disabled `make install` in
their build. See:

https://github.com/google/googletest/blob/master/googletest/Makefile.am#L300

I don't really understand what they think they're solving here but it
is what it is and this seems to make it hard to use googletest in a
non-bundled way. It's possible I misunderstood, though.

FWIW, Cap'n Proto only uses googletest to build its tests. It does not
install any artifacts that were influenced by googletest.

In any case, this dependency will be gone once I find time to do the
next release. Sorry for the trouble in the meantime.

-Kenton

PS. regarding the man page, I believe Debian mostly generated this
page from the capnp tool's help text. I'd accept a patch to
c++/src/kj/main.c++ which adds some code to generate man XML format
directly, so that we don't have to maintain the same text in multiple
places.
