I'm not sure we should document this as part of --help-property, because this isn't set using set_property, it's just a variable that is set by "set(CTEST_BUILD_TARGET foo)". In fact, there is no information listed via ctest --help-property, because apparently these properties don't apply to ctest.

That said, we should probably document this somewhere... Where do we normally document the automagic variables that cmake sometimes looks for?

(This may be rendered moot by the fact that we've just added a better way of specifying a build target, which is the TARGET attribute of the CTEST_BUILD command.)

Closing this since the new TARGET option for CTEST_BUILD is well documented.

Zach,

See this email thread: http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2010-June/037489.html [^] Nobody (me included) can find how CTEST_BUILD_TARGET is "well documented..."

Can you point us to what you were talking about?

Well, I just looked and I certainly can't figure out what I was talking about at the time either... I'm adding some documentation to the CTEST_BUILD command help output. Is there anywhere besides there we should document this?

Added the documentation in the command help.
