Bug Description

I've just installed libgtest-dev package on Ubuntu 12.04, but it does not contain library files (neither static one nor shared object).
So linker fails as follows:
  /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgtest
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

Upstream does not recommend building a shared library but to instead
built it yourself from the sources contained in the package.
See NEWS.Debian and README.Debian:

gtest (1.6.0-1) unstable; urgency=low

  Use of precompiled libgtest is no longer recommended. See README.Debian
  for instructions on using gtest with your projects. The precompiled
  shared library has been removed and the static library will be removed
  in a future upload.

  The script gtest-config is no longer supplied since upstream's
  autoconfigure-based build is deprecated.

Changed in gtest (Ubuntu):
