Summary0005814: Output build progress while building when using --build-and-test
DescriptionCurrently if you use CTest with the --build-and-test option, CTest will not output the progress of the build until it is completed, at which point it outputs the entire build log if you have -VV set or only the test status otherwise.

It would be nice if it would output the build progress while building, at least if you have -VV set, so you have an idea when it will finish and what it is doing.

ctest --build-and-test is really a powerful and useful tool, because it knows how to invoke all build systems supported by CMake (see http://www.mail-archive.com/cmake@cmake.org/msg17855.html [^] )

For example, we are using ctest --build-and-test to compile a lot of autogenerated source code, which takes a long time.

In such a context it is unconvenient that ctest --build-and-test does not flush the output. It is tricky for the developer to see if the build is happening or if the process is hung.

(So I "vote" for this issue..)
