[CMake] Trouble starting ctest run with intention of reporting to dashboard

[David Cole]

- Download the CTestConfig.cmake from CDash
- Place it at the top of your source tree (next to your main CMakeLists.txt)-
No need for the --ctest-config on the ctest command line

Arrange it like that, and let us know if you still have problems.


HTH,
David
