Shared library is no longer provided due to upstream recommendation.

         -------------------------------------------

 The Google C++ Testing Framework uses conditional compilation for some
 things.  Because of the C++ "One Definition Rule", gtest must be
 compiled with exactly the same flags as your C++ code under test.
 Because this is hard to manage, upstream no longer recommends using
 precompiled libraries [1].

You can find examples of using the library under
/usr/share/doc/libgtest-dev/examples, and more advice within the quoted
README.Debian.
