[CMake] Running two executables sequentially in a test

[David Cole]

script.cmake:
execute_process(x)
execute_process(y)

CMakeLists.txt:
add_test(NAME MyTest COMMAND ${CMAKE_COMMAND} -P
${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/script.cmake)

Or, configure the script into the build tree if you need variable values
from the CMakeLists.txt file and then reference the configured copy instead.

The NAME/COMMAND signature of add_test is only available in 2.8 and later,
though.


HTH,
David
