[CMake] How to set CTEST_BUILD_NAME

[Xavier Besseron]

Hi Donald,


For my project, I do it this way.

In my CMakeLists.txt, I first set the variable BUILDNAME in cache
before calling `include(CTest)`.


# define BUILDNAME, used to submit jobs to CDash

set(BUILDNAME "Whatever you want" CACHE STRING "" FORCE)


# This must be called after SITE and BUILDNAME variables are set

include(CTest)


I hope this will work for you.


Best regards,


Xavier
