[cmake-developers] Initial Attempt at Green Hill MULTI IDE Generator Support

[Geoffrey Viola]

I submitted a test report with all the tests passing. https://open.cdash.org/buildSummary.php?buildid=3698090. This test report includes the extra tests that I added.

It looks like things are running even though I haven't made any changes specifically to fix those failing tests. One of the issues I had before was that I used the auto generated CTestScript.cmake script that ran "CTEST_UPDATE(SOURCE "${CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY}")."  In addition, I found it unusual that the "CMakeOnly.MajorVersionSelection-PythonInterp_2" test will fail if there is a path to the python 3.3 executable. Also, the "CMake.GetPrerequisites" will sometimes timeout on my machine.

I set up a nightly build on my machine.

I'm not sure how to handle cases where the user wants to run all the test and expects all to pass, but does not have Green Hills installed.

Okay, let's get your builds submitting cleanly with no local changes first.
That way we can identify whether any of your changes cause the failures.

There are basic instructions for setting up a nightly build here:

 http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake/Git/Dashboard

You can use Windows Task Scheduler to run a .bat file that calls ctest with the dashboard script.

Once we get your submission to a clean state then we can continue looking at the changes for the new generator and whether they cause any failures.

Thanks,
