@floswald May be you need to run $ make command before $ make test

Hi Florian, looks like you're on windows using MSVC? I had a similar problem there. The issue was that the runtime library setting for the runUnitTests target doesn't match those of the gtest target. This causes a linker error, so the runUnitTests executable is not built and it cannot be found at runtime.

I just created a pull request that fixes the issue. Hope that helps.

Cheers, Stefan

~~Hi @floswald, did you find a fix for this issue? I'm on Sierra and I'm having the same problems.~~

Fixed this by updating to GoogleTest v1.8.
