If you used a VS (or Xcode) generator then run bin/Debug/ctest -C Debug where "Debug" is whatever configuration you built after generating. You don't actually have to use the bootstrap script to build for development. You can configure/build CMake with an already-installed CMake. This is required on Windows to build with VS. With this approach you should run the tests using the ctest that comes next to the already-installed cmake you ran to configure the build tree. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
