[CMake] Make Visual Studio stop on error

[Rob Boehne]

All,

We’re really loving CMake here! And we’ve been slowly figuring out how to make things work for our legacy C/C++ project.
One improvement we want to make is to tell cmake to generate Visual Studio projects that stop building when a dependency target fails.
Can something be set in the Visual Studio generator, or on the cmake –build command line to do that?

The reason is that when a target fails, it keeps compiling 8000 source files, and we have to search Jenkins (web-based) logs of stdout/stderr to find what actually failed.  It also chews up resources with no benefit.

Thanks,

Rob
