[CMake] CTest: Weird behaviour

[Marcel Loose]

Hi all,

I stumbled upon IMHO weird behaviour of CTest.
It seems that compilation errors are not picked up, somehow. Look at the
output of a run of "ctest -V -D ExperimentalBuild" below.

/export/home/loose/work/LOFAR_trunk/LOFAR/LCS/pyparameterset/src/pyparameterset.cc:22:27:
error: lofar_config.hh: No such file or directory
Linking CXX shared
module
../../../lib64/python2.6/site-packages/lofar/parameterset/_pyparameterset.so
g++: CMakeFiles/_pyparameterset.dir/pyparameterset.cc.o: No such file or
directory
[ 96%] Built target _pyparameterset
[ 98%] Built target lofar_pyparameterset
[100%] Built target versionpyparameterset
 Size of output: 1K
Command exited with the value: 0
   0 or more Compiler errors
   0 Compiler warnings
Elapsed: 0:12.30 - CPU: 9.944u+1.396s = 92.1%

The compiler fails to compile pyparmeterset.cc, because it cannot find
one of the files that are #include-d. CTest, however, reports 0 compiler
errors and exits with status 0.

Could someone please explain what's going on here?

Best regards,
Marcel Loose.
