[Paraview] How to get CTest to use "Make -j16" in my Dashboard submission

[Michael Jackson]

Ok. So I finally got the compiler to use more than one thread and the  
test seems to progress OK until about test # 370 or so where ParaView  
starts getting launched a bunch of times. Sometimes this works fine  
and the next test seems to progress and other times it is sitting at  
an Open File Dialog just waiting. Not sure what I need to do at this  
point.

Here is my revised CTest script.
cmake_minimum_required ( VERSION 2.6 )

set (CTEST_SITE "ferb at bluequartz.net")
set (CTEST_BUILD_NAME "Rel36-OSX10.5.7-GCC4.0.1(Xcode 3.1)")

get_filename_component(CTEST_DASHBOARD_ROOT "$ 
{CTEST_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY}/.." ABSOLUTE)
set (CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY "${CTEST_DASHBOARD_ROOT}/ParaView3")
set (CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY ${CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY}/Build64)
set (CTEST_UPDATE_COMMAND "/usr/bin/cvs")
set (CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR "Unix Makefiles")
set (CTEST_NOTES_FILES
   ${CTEST_DASHBOARD_ROOT}/ParaView36Dashboard.cmake /tmp/ 
ParaViewDashBoardNotes-GCC.txt
   ${CTEST_SCRIPT_DIRECTORY}/${CTEST_SCRIPT_NAME}
)
set (CTEST_BUILD_COMMAND     "/usr/bin/make -j16")
set (CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS "-j16")
set (CTEST_BUILD_CONFIGURATION "Debug")
set (CTEST_TIMEOUT "200")

#SET (CTEST_START_WITH_EMPTY_BINARY_DIRECTORY TRUE)
SET (CTEST_UPDATE_OPTIONS "-dAP -r ParaView-3-6")
#ctest_empty_binary_directory (${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY})

ctest_start (Nightly)
ctest_update (SOURCE "${CTEST_DASHBOARD_ROOT}/VTKData")
ctest_update (SOURCE "${CTEST_DASHBOARD_ROOT}/ParaViewData")
ctest_update (SOURCE "${CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY}")

file (WRITE "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}/CMakeCache.txt"
"

"
)
ctest_configure (BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}")
ctest_read_custom_files(${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY})
ctest_build (BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}")
ctest_test (BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}" EXCLUDE

ctest_submit ()
