ctest_buildΒΆ
Perform the CTest Build Step as a Dashboard Client.
ctest_build([BUILD <build-dir>] [APPEND]
            [CONFIGURATION <config>]
            [FLAGS <flags>]
            [PROJECT_NAME <project-name>]
            [TARGET <target-name>]
            [NUMBER_ERRORS <num-err-var>]
            [NUMBER_WARNINGS <num-warn-var>]

            [CAPTURE_CMAKE_ERROR <result-var>]
            )
Build the project and store results in Build.xml
for submission with the ctest_submit() command.
The CTEST_BUILD_COMMAND variable may be set to explicitly
specify the build command line.  Otherwise the build command line is
computed automatically based on the options given.
The options are:
- BUILD <build-dir>
- Specify the top-level build directory.  If not given, the
CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORYvariable is used.
- APPEND
- Mark Build.xmlfor append to results previously submitted to a dashboard server since the lastctest_start()call. Append semantics are defined by the dashboard server in use. This does not cause results to be appended to a.xmlfile produced by a previous call to this command.
- CONFIGURATION <config>
- Specify the build configuration (e.g. Debug). If not specified theCTEST_BUILD_CONFIGURATIONvariable will be checked. Otherwise the-C <cfg>option given to thectest(1)command will be used, if any.
- FLAGS <flags>
- Pass additional arguments to the underlying build command.
If not specified the CTEST_BUILD_FLAGSvariable will be checked. This can, e.g., be used to trigger a parallel build using the-joption of make. See theProcessorCountmodule for an example.
- PROJECT_NAME <project-name>
- Ignored. This was once used but is no longer needed.
- TARGET <target-name>
- Specify the name of a target to build.  If not specified the
CTEST_BUILD_TARGETvariable will be checked. Otherwise the default target will be built. This is the “all” target (calledALL_BUILDin Visual Studio Generators).
- NUMBER_ERRORS <num-err-var>
- Store the number of build errors detected in the given variable.
- NUMBER_WARNINGS <num-warn-var>
- Store the number of build warnings detected in the given variable.
- RETURN_VALUE <result-var>
- Store the return value of the native build tool in the given variable.
- CAPTURE_CMAKE_ERROR <result-var>
- Store in the <result-var>variable -1 if there are any errors running the command and prevent ctest from returning non-zero if an error occurs.
- QUIET
- Suppress any CTest-specific non-error output that would have been printed to the console otherwise. The summary of warnings / errors, as well as the output from the native build tool is unaffected by this option.
