[CMake] Running CTest with Xcode build results in Error

Thu Jun 18 15:46:37 EDT 2015

The short of it is that CTest is using xcodebuild (which is correct) but is trying to pass the “-j16” style that normal “MakeFiles” would use. I have looked through our CTest scripts (Which were adapted from VTK’s nightly builds) but I am not seeing anything about that flag being explicitly called out.
