<div><br>Are you trying to set an environment variable that can be used during build time? This isn't possible.<br><a href="http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#How_can_I_get_or_set_environment_variables.3F" target="_blank">http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ#How_can_I_get_or_set_environment_variables.3F</a><br>
<br>Could you elaborate on when you need the environment variable?<br></div></div></blockquote>

</div></blockquote><div><br>I've reopened this feature request as a bug because<br>1.) using "ctest" does not work<br>2.) the ENVIRONMENT test property is not documented<br><br>Discovered both of these issues tonight after looking into Ankit's request and vaguely recalling this being implemented in CVS.<br>
