Summary0003562: error creating an alias for the test target
DescriptionI believe the following commands should work:

ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET( check )
ADD_DEPENDENCIES( check test )

but they don't.

I was able to work around the problem by using:

ADD_CUSTOM_TARGET( check COMMAND ctest
  DEPENDS
    foo_test
)

as suggested by William Hoffman but I would have to put all tests in the depends clause.

I believe the dependency/alias approach would make the code cleaner.

The problem is that test is global target and there is no interface to global targets in CMake language yet. This may be 2.6 feature.
