Thanks very much.  It's maybe more than can/should be done using "ctest".  That 
is, some shell scripting might be in order as well...


I have a CDash server set up.  Every night, shortly after midnight, I want a 
bunch of build machines, running various operating systems, to build and test 
the software, and report their results to CDash.  

My project consists of two, somewhat-related bodies of source code: MOOS and 
IVP.  Each has its own CMake-based build system.  Each comes with a shell 
script that invokes "cmake" with some options, and then "make".  The options 
supplied to cmake like CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE, CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS_RELEASE, and some 
application-specific CMake variables.  

If possible, I'd like to ensure that when ctest invokes cmake, the CMake 
variables mentioned above end up with the same values as they would have if the 
shell scripts mentioned above had been used to kick of cmake.  This is a 
relatively low-priority requirement, but it would be nice.

To date I've been ignoring MOOS with regards to CTest.  I do have to build MOOS 
prior to building IVP, but I wanted to keep things simple for now and just 
focus on ctest'ing IVP.

Since MOOS and IVP are in separate source trees and are built at separate 
times, I have no expectation that their building / testing results can end up 
in the same CDash dashboard.  But it would be awfully nice if they did, because 
we really see them as two parts of the same product.  It's only an accident of 
nature that they're not part of the very same CMake build tree.

Furthermore, I want a shell command that I've designed to decide, for each 
build, what appears in CDash's "Build Name" column.  I want this because 
"Linux-c++" doesn't sufficiently differentiate the various build platforms I'm 
using.

If possible, I'd like the CDash report to include a mention of how the 
sourcecode checkout went.  If the sourcecode checkout fails, I'd like CDash to 
show that, rather than just having no report from the client that had the 
problem.

I want a fresh checkout of the source code each time I do this.  Merely 
updating it isn't clean enough.  Also, I'm using svn.

I'd like to continue specifying my tests by having "ADD_TEST(...)" calls 
sprinkled throughout my project's CMakeLists.txt files.
