[CMake] set CTEST_ENVIRONMENT from within CMakeLists.txt?

[David Cole]

CTEST_ENVIRONMENT cannot be used from within CMakeLists.txt -- it is a
"ctest -S script" only variable...
To do what you want, you will have to use CVS CMake, or wait until CMake 2.8
and then use the ENVIRONMENT test property.

With CVS or the upcoming CMake 2.8, after calling ADD_TEST in your
CMakeLists.txt file, you can do:
  set_property(TEST TestName PROPERTY
    ENVIRONMENT "CMAKE_ENVIRONMENT_TEST_VAR=Happy Thanksgiving!"
  )


HTH,
David
