[Dart] [Newbie] Building the HTML reports on the Dart server.

[Eric BOIX]

        Dear Dart users,

As newbie, I'm trying to configure a Dart server. I use the README.INSTALL
as found on the cvs server of Dart [ since it seems more recent than the web
install page i.e. http://public.kitware.com/Dart/HTML/Install.shtml ] as
walkthrough and I'm stuck on step 5) of the "Configuring the Dart server"
section i.e. the one that reads:

  5) A series of cron jobs control the opening and closing of dashboards
     and periodically converting the XML submissions into HTML reports.
     [ ... ]

The commands used within the given crontab entries go:
    cd /insight/TestingTree/Insight-TestingResults;  \
    make NightlyDashboardStart ;                     \
    ./myconfig > /dev/null;                          \
    make NightlyDashboardEnd
and I expected this to build my HTML reports...

Here are a few questions:
 - Am I missing some key piece of documentation ?
     [ is there a Wiki for Dart somewhere ? ]
 - do I first need to set up the DartConfig.cmake ? If yes, with
   what information ?
     [ I probably don't need to specify a DROP_SITE and a TRIGGER_SITE since
       I'm only concerned with running some Java scripts localy. Still I expect
       to specify in some way the location of the XML submissions !  Maybe I
       should also state were to put the the generated HTML reports ?!]
 - how come the NightlyDashboardStart doesn't seem to exist as a make
   target of the build tree ?
     [ I don't seem to be the first one to hit this snag: refer to
       http://public.kitware.com/pipermail/dart/2004-September/000950.html ]
 - are there some "ctest -D <something>" shortcuts for this task on the
   server side ?

My Dart low mileage really drove me off the road... :-)

        Thanks,
        Eric Boix.
