<div class="moz-cite-prefix">I use CTest scripts for the build
(ctest -S) which set CTEST_BUILD_COMMAND.<br>
Alternatively I think setting CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS to add flags to
the build command instead of replacing it should work as well.<br>
<br>
Subsequent calls to "ctest_build()" in the script pick up and use
the command as set earlier.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">We have a simple automated test/build
setup. A basic CTestConfig.cmake sets the project name and
CTEST_DROP properties and the test server simply runs “ctest
–D Nightly” or “ctest –D Experimental” to process a build.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have two problems that I think I could
solve if I can work out how to specify additional options for
the make command used to do the build. To debug a rare issue
we’re having I’d like to be able to use “make –d” and I would
also like to be able to perform the build in parallel “make
–j8” but run the tests in serial (this seems to rule out using
“ctest –j8”)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">First I thought I could use the “<a
moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/ctest.html#opt:--build-options">--build-options</a>”
option in CTest but after having no luck and looking at the
source it looks like this option is only used when
“--build-and-test” is requested perhaps? It appears that a
number of these command (eg –build-makeprogram) are only used
by CTest when used in conjunction with certain other options
and not when using “-D”?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’ve found some old posts that talk about
using a CTest scripting file to set the initial cache value
“MAKECOMMAND:STRING=/usr/bin/make -i -j8” or
“set(CTEST_BUILD_COMMAND "make -j4 -i") “ – I haven’t had much
luck with this so far and am wondering if this is still a
valid/recommended approach?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Any advice would be greatly appreciated.<o:p></o:p></p>
