[CMake] How to make sure "make test" depends on "make all"

[Marcel Loose]

Hi Shlomi

You might consider using another target, say 'check'. I've used that to
mimic more or less the GNU autotools behaviour. See
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMakeEmulateMakeCheck. Don't use
EXCLUDE_FROM_ALL if you want your test programs to depend on the target
'all'.

Best regards,
Marcel Loose.

        Hi all!
        
        I'm using cmake-2.6.4-3mdv2010.0 on Mandriva Linux Cooker, and
        ran into a
        problem. I want "make test" (which is a custom target) to depend
        on "make
        all", in this codebase:
        

I can't say that I understand the error messages you're getting, but it
is unfortunately *not* possible to make built-in targets like "test",
"all" and "install" depend on each other. See for example this bug:
