[CMake] can't configure GTEST_ROOT with ccmake or cmake-gui

Assuming you mean GTEST rather than CTEST (you seem to use them 
interchangeably) I think something like this in your CMakeLists.txt 
should make the option show up in cmake-gui/ccmake:
     set(GTEST_ROOT "" CACHE PATH "Google Test root directory")
