I think that it should be use $(gtest-config --ldflags --libs).

$ gcc foo.c $(gtest-config --ldflags --libs)

[Comment 2 Alexis Ballier 2010-11-04 17:15:09 UTC]

I'm sorry but, simply, no: extra libs should be needed only for static linking. Shared elf objects have a way to express their library requirements by linking to them; not using this is, if not a bug, an annoying suboptimal use.
