[cmake-developers] can ctest script using CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR ?

[comic fans]

Thank you for explanation, I'm trying to makes this generator to pass
more test, but found test script didn't work well with multi-config
generator. as you pointed, CMAKE_CFG_INTDIR didn't work in ctest so I
need to find another way to make my generator pass test.

recent commits shows that QtAutogen is moving to create suffixed files
and folders for different config, but with this commit,
my generator test failed on Qt5Autogen as following:

Target "rccDepends" has source files which vary by configuration.  This is
 not supported by the "Fastbuild" generator.

 Config "Debug":

   /working/CMake/Tests/QtAutogen/rccDepends/main.cpp
   /working/CMake/fastbuild/Tests/Qt5Autogen/rccDepends/res1.qrc
   /working/CMake/fastbuild/Tests/Qt5Autogen/rccDepends/res2.qrc
   /working/CMake/fastbuild/Tests/Qt5Autogen/rccDepends/rccDepends_autogen/EJRQKI7XPS/qrc_res1_Debug.cpp
   /working/CMake/fastbuild/Tests/Qt5Autogen/rccDepends/rccDepends_autogen/EJRQKI7XPS/qrc_res2_Debug.cpp

 Config "Release":

   /working/CMake/Tests/QtAutogen/rccDepends/main.cpp
   /working/CMake/fastbuild/Tests/Qt5Autogen/rccDepends/res1.qrc
   /working/CMake/fastbuild/Tests/Qt5Autogen/rccDepends/res2.qrc
   /working/CMake/fastbuild/Tests/Qt5Autogen/rccDepends/rccDepends_autogen/EJRQKI7XPS/qrc_res1_Release.cpp
   /working/CMake/fastbuild/Tests/Qt5Autogen/rccDepends/rccDepends_autogen/EJRQKI7XPS/qrc_res2_Release.cpp

How should I make my generator compatible with this ? or this feature
didn't complete ,I should wait it complete ?
