[CMake] simple ctest

[th.tom at gmx.de]

Hi David,

thanks for your reply. 

It would really be great to have everything working with ctest instead of writing scripts, so I'll going to clean up my system, reboot and get a clean cvs checkout and follow your instruction.

I have not used any CTEST_CONFIGURE_COMMAND.

*break*

--- so my results are: "brilliant" ---

SET ( SOURCE_DIR "C:/my/source" )
SET ( CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY ${SOURCE_DIR}/build )
SET ( CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY ${SOURCE_DIR} )

SET ( CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR "NMake Makefiles" )
SET ( CTEST_PROJECT_NAME "myProject" )

MESSAGE ( "Actual path is ${CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY}" )
MESSAGE ( "Actual binary path is ${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}" )

CTEST_START ( Experimental )
CTEST_CONFIGURE ( BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}" RETURN_VALUE res )
CTEST_BUILD ( BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}" RETURN_VALUE res )
CTEST_SUBMIT ( RETURN_VALUE res )

--- my (old) CTestConfig.cmake looks like this: ---

#SET ( CTEST_NIGHTLY_START_TIME "21:00:00 EDT" )
SET ( CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME "myProject" )

# Tell cmake where to report the information to
SET ( CTEST_SITE "http://webpage:8081" )
SET ( CTEST_PROJECT_NAME "${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}" )
SET ( CTEST_DROP_METHOD "xmlrpc" )
SET ( CTEST_DROP_SITE "http://webpage:8081" )
SET ( CTEST_DROP_LOCATION "${CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME}" )
SET ( CTEST_COMPRESS_SUBMISSION ON )

-----

Here I had to add the CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME, as the CMakeLists.txt is not read on this level and CMAKE_PROJECT_NAME is empty.


I can not say, what strange things has resulted the output from yesterday. What I can say, is that with a clean installation, everything is working as expected. I should have tried this before yelling - I am sorry!
