[CMake] Special variables in CTest

[Dixon, Shane]

That's helpful, but not quite what I'm looking for.  The primary reason I'm looking is because I have a nightly script that tries to build the project using both nmake and mingw32-make.  It's all in one script.  If done from the command-line, both build fine.  When done from the script, it builds nmake first, then mingw32-make and the nmake succeeds, but mingw32-make fails at the BUILD stage.  

I get through CTEST_CONFIGURE fine and then when CTEST_BUILD runs, it somehow switches back to nmake:

 Size of output: 1K
Command exited with the value: 0
SetMakeCommand:nmake -i
SetCTestConfiguration:MakeCommand:nmake -i
SetCTestConfiguration:BuildDirectory:C:/TEMP/ctest_builds/MyProj_build
SetCTestConfiguration:SourceDirectory:C:/TEMP/ctest_builds/MyProj
Build project
MakeCommand:nmake -i
Run command: "nmake" "-i"
   Each symbol represents 1024 bytes of output.
   '!' represents an error and '*' a warning.
    .

I'm confused how it can run fine up to configure point and then suddenly revert to nmake at the CTEST_BUILD command.  It looks like MAKECOMMAND gets set only once for the whole script file and never updates.

Maybe not exactly what you're looking for have you looked at CTest.cmake
in your Modules directory? That's where the vars come from and there is
some inline documentation there.
