[CMake] set CTEST_ENVIRONMENT from within CMakeLists.txt?

[Roland Bock]

Hi,

that's good news for the future.

In the meantime, I have created a workaround that does the trick for the 
tests in my current project (and until CMake2.8).

#-----------------------------
# M_ADD_LOCAL_TEST
#
# Parameters:
# name of the test
# command string (including all parameters)
# additional environment settings string (optional)
#-------------------------------
MACRO (M_ADD_LOCAL_TEST name command)
   ADD_TEST(${name}
          "bash"
          "-c"
          "foo=\"bar\" ${ARGN} ${CMAKE_CURRENT_BINARY_DIR}/${command}")
ENDMACRO ()
#-------------------------------

For instance

M_ADD_LOCAL_TEST(test1
    "myTestProgram"
    --verbose" "LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/myProject/lib")

Thanks and regards,

Roland
