New version for googletest

[EstherWx]

Current googletest is gtest @ ba96d0b, which is 6 years ago.
Is it possible to use a newer version?

My issue might be resolved with a newer version of googletest.

Context: I'm on Slackware-current. I need googletest as a dependency for some package. I am installing rapidjson-1.1.0 like so:

cd build
cmake
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS:STRING="-O2 -fPIC -Wno-error"
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
-DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=/usr/lib64
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release ..
make

Issue: If I install rapidjson-1.1.0 first, then it compiles fine. If, in contrast, I install gooletest-1.14.0 first, then rapidjson-1.1.0 fails to compile with this error:
