[vtkusers] Problems using Dart with VTK and Win2k

[Rasmus Reinhold Paulsen]

As a part of adding a test of a new VTK class I have installed Dart (from
the CVS repository). I have the nightly source of VTK (from the CVS
repository) and the newest (non-CVS) version of CMake.

My configuration:

Dart installed in (env. var. DART_ROOT also set to):
C:/Dart

TCL/TK installed in:
C:/tcl

VTK installed in:
C:/VTK

VTKData in:
C:/VTKData

Binaries build in
C:/vtkbin

I am building with testing on and MAKECOMMAND = "msdev" VTK.dsw /MAKE
"ALL_BUILD - Release"

When building the "Experimental - Win32 Release" setup with VC++ 6.0, 34
tests passed and 281 fails. In the Test.xml a failed test is for example:

- <Test Status="failed">
  <Name>TestProcrustes-image</Name>
  <Path>./Hybrid/Testing/Tcl</Path>
  <FullName>./Hybrid/Testing/Tcl/TestProcrustes-image</FullName>
  <FullCommandLine>c:/vtkbin/bin/vtk
C:/VTK/Common/Testing/Tcl/rtImageTest.tcl
C:/VTK/Hybrid/Testing/Tcl/TestProcrustes.tcl -D C:/VTKData -V
Baseline/Hybrid/TestProcrustes.png -A C:/VTK/Wrapping/Tcl</FullCommandLine>
- <Results>
- <NamedMeasurement type="text/string" name="Exit Code">
  <Value>CHILDSTATUS</Value>
  </NamedMeasurement>
- <NamedMeasurement type="text/string" name="Exit Value">
  <Value>128</Value>
  </NamedMeasurement>
- <NamedMeasurement type="numeric/double" name="Execution Time">
  <Value>0.01</Value>
  </NamedMeasurement>
- <NamedMeasurement type="text/string" name="Completion Status">
  <Value>Completed</Value>
  </NamedMeasurement>
- <Measurement>
  <Value>Standard Output: Standard Error:</Value>
  </Measurement>
  </Results>
  </Test>

The reaon why it fails is apparently that there exists no
c:/vtkbin/bin/vtk.exe because the build process builds a
c:/vtkbin/bin/Release/vtk.exe which should be used.

In the documentation it says:

"Dart will search for test executables in a prescribed order (Release,
Debug, MinSizeRel, RelWithDebInfo). Dart will run a test from the first
configuration it finds."

But it does not seems to work...

I am mystified! I believe that a single option in CMake will solve my
problem, but which one?

BTW. what is CMAKETEST_COMMAND ? By default it is set to "NOT FOUND". Is
that a part of my problem?

Rasmus

PS. I will gladly send my CMakeCache.txt file if that can help.
