The google-cloud-cpp::*-mocks targets are not exported #5782

Description

@coryan

These targets are not exported. In practice it does not matter much, because using the library gets you the same -I flags, but the applications are missing the -lgtest* and -lgmock* options.

We need to fix at least the following problems:

  • We need to separate the CMake and pkg-config files for mocks vs. runtime libraries. If we add the mocks to the existing config files then we need to add find_dependency(gtest) (and its equivalent in pkg-config lingo) to the config files. It would be very strange to require googletest when all you want is to link against the runtime version of the libraries.
  • We need to decide if installing these libraries is optional or not. I think we should not make it optional, we have too many knobs already.
  • We need to install these libraries as part of the "development" component (for CMake)
  • We need to add something to the CI builds to verify these libraries are usable once installed.
