Hi Hendrik,

Your idea sounds good, but usually you will also need to use a
target_link_libraries() command. How would you fit that into your macro?
So the sequence of commands would be something like:
  add_executable(<prog> <prog-srcs>)
  add_test(<prog> <prog>)
  add_dependencies(check <prog>)
  target_link_libraries(prog <dep-libs>)

How do I pass both <prog-srcs> and <dep-libs> as arguments to the
add_check macro?

Marcel Loose.
