[CMake] Dart and tests

Have a look at the recently committed "CMake/Tests/Tutorial/Step7" project
in CVS CMake. (Update to current CVS CMake, it was just committed
yesterday.)

If you do a diff between "CMake/Tests/Tutorial/Step6" and
"CMake/Tests/Tutorial/Step7", it will demonstrate to you the minimum steps
required to add ctest dashboard support to a project.

It essentially boils down to this:

CMake/Tests/Tutorial/Step7:
===========================
Minimal steps necessary to drive dashboard builds of your project with
CTest:
  Add to your CMakeLists.txt file:
    INCLUDE(CTest)

  Add a file named "CTestConfig.cmake" to your source tree containing at
least:
    SET(CTEST_PROJECT_NAME "Tutorial")
      #
      # The name used here should match the name used in the first PROJECT
      # command in your top level CMakeLists.txt.

  And now write either (1) or (2):

    (1) an old style ctest -S dashboard script "build1.cmake" that contains
at least:

    SET(CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY "C:/Dashboards/My
Tests/CMake/Tests/Tutorial/Step7")
    SET(CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY "C:/Dashboards/My Tests/Step7-build1")

    SET(CTEST_CMAKE_COMMAND "cmake")
    SET(CTEST_COMMAND "ctest -D Experimental")
      #
      # In this "old style" ctest -S dashboard script,
      # CTEST_CMAKE_COMMAND is used to configure CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY
      # into CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY. After configuring is done,
CTEST_COMMAND
      # is used to run the remaining phases of the dashboard. It is a good
      # idea to use full path names for cmake and ctest rather than simply
      # "cmake" and "ctest"

    (2) a "new style" ctest -S dashboard script "build2.cmake" that contains
at least:

    SET(CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY "C:/Dashboards/My
Tests/CMake/Tests/Tutorial/Step7")
    SET(CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY "C:/Dashboards/My Tests/Step7-build2")
    SET(CTEST_CMAKE_GENERATOR "Visual Studio 8 2005")

    CTEST_START("Experimental")
    CTEST_CONFIGURE(BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}")
    CTEST_BUILD(BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}")
    CTEST_TEST(BUILD "${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}")
    CTEST_SUBMIT()
      #
      # In this "new style" ctest -S dashboard script, the ctest that is
driving
      # the script is the same as the cmake/ctest used to execute the
dashboard
      # steps. Hence, full path names to cmake/ctest are inferred when using
this
      # style of script.

  Run the following commands to execute each dashboard script:

    ctest -VV -S build1.cmake

    ctest -VV -S build2.cmake



Hope this helps,
David
