OK, so if I'm trying to add a test do I just add_executable( run_main.pl IMPORTED ) set_property( TARGET test_script1 PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/run_main.pl" ) add_test( test1 run_main.pl)
If run_main.pl is #!/usr/bin/perl system "main --val 24" Main could be in the build tree if it comes from main.cxx or it could be in the source tree if it is a script. How does cmake know where main is at? -----Original Message----- From: David Cole [mailto:david.c...@kitware.com] Sent: Thursday, November 10, 2011 1:09 PM To: EXT-York, Gantry Cc: cmake@cmake.org Subject: Re: [CMake] Where are tests located? When you add an IMPORTED target, CMake does not know where the imported target is AT ALL until you tell it. After: add_executable(run_main.pl IMPORTED) You need: set_property(TARGET run_main.pl PROPERTY IMPORTED_LOCATION "${CMAKE_CURRENT_SOURCE_DIR}/run_main.pl") See docs here: http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#command:set_property http://cmake.org/cmake/help/cmake-2-8-docs.html#prop_tgt:IMPORTED_LOCATION HTH, David On Thu, Nov 10, 2011 at 3:00 PM, EXT-York, Gantry <gantry.y...@boeing.com> wrote: > When I do an > > > > add_executable( run_main.pl IMPORTED) > > add_test( test1 run_main.pl) > > > > How does it know where run_main.pl is located when you do an out of source > build? > > > > It seems to look in > > . > > Releases > > Debug > > MinSizeRel > > RelWithDebInfo > > Deployment > > Development > > > > which are directories that I don't even see existing. > > > > And if run_main.pl is just > > > > #!/usr/bin/perl > > system " ../exec/main" > > > > > > How does it know if ../exec/main is in the src tree or the build tree?
