Building/Running Google Test

I am trying to build and run Google Test but encountered some issues. Any help greatly appreciated. I used CMake 2.8 (with UI) to create .sln and .vcproj files in the D:/MyBuild directory (as mentioned in the README file of google test). However, when I try to run the .sln file in the MyBuild directory, here is what I get (image): enter image description here

Also, here is a screenshot of the CMake which I used to create .sln files and .vcproj files in the D:/MyBuild directory.

enter image description here

ps. One thing I noticed is that README was giving instructions how to use non graphical version of CMake (e.g., 2.6) to install google test, however I used one with user interface - maybe I did something wrong there?

You appear to have successfully built gtest's libs in Debug mode. However, by default the .sln doesn't contain any executables, so you can't actually run anything.

If you select the checkboxes in the CMake GUI for gtest_build_samples and/or gtest_build_tests and hit "Generate", then the Visual Studio solution should contain some executables.

From memory, these don't build cleanly, but I don't have MSVC 2010 to hand, so I can't be sure.
