[CMake] CDash + Perforce

[David Cole]

CDash is just a web app / server app. It does not do builds, it just
collects information from clients that submit to it, and displays
results.

Client machines can run ctest -S scripts to submit build/test results
to a CDash dashboard.

Look at the notes attached to a typical CMake dashboard for an example
of how a client machine must be set up to submit to the CDash server.

For example, this one:

  http://www.cdash.org/CDash/viewNotes.php?buildid=1730072

On our machine, dashmacmini5.kitware, a script runs this command with
the script shown at the above link:

  ctest -S ${HOME}/Dashboards/DashboardScripts/dashmacmini5_cmake_clang.cmake
-O ${HOME}/Dashboards/Logs/dashmacmini5_cmake_clang.log


HTH,
David
