[Insight-developers] Dashboard Cleanup: mini0.nlm MacOSX-cross-rosetta : 50 tests failing

[Bradley Lowekamp]

Hello Michel,

The difference is the following CMake variable:
CMAKE_OSX_ARCHITECTURES:STRING=ppc 

This makes a build for the PowerPC architecture, but the actual processor is a x86 intel. The test are run in an emulation mode which apple has for the transition from ppc to i386 architecture. This is why they are so slow.
