Make sure you have Python installed, as some of Google Test's tests are written
in Python. If the cmake command complains about not being able to find Python
(`Could NOT find PythonInterp (missing: PYTHON_EXECUTABLE)`), try telling it
explicitly where your Python executable can be found:

-#### Testing Google Mock Itself
-
-To make sure your changes work as intended and don't break existing
-functionality, you'll want to compile and run Google Test's own tests. For that
-you'll need Autotools. First, make sure you have followed the instructions above
-to configure Google Mock. Then, create a build output directory and enter it.
-Next,
-
- ${GMOCK_DIR}/configure # try --help for more info
-
-Once you have successfully configured Google Mock, the build steps are standard
-for GNU-style OSS packages.
-
- make # Standard makefile following GNU conventions
- make check # Builds and runs all tests - all should pass.
-
-Note that when building your project against Google Mock, you are building
-against Google Test as well. There is no need to configure Google Test
-separately.
