What do you mean by "auxiliary files" ? If auxiliary files are shared libs they should be found just fine for the executable in the build tree (see http://www.vtk.org/Wiki/CMake_RPATH_handling) Moreover add_test accepts "$<...>". generator expressions which may helps you to specify complete path to files produced by your build. > So I am really missing the point here: how to install files (to a temporary > directory, for example) and then run various tests? Maybe someone has ideas... In any case, if you want to install to a temp dir you can use a custom command/target which use DESTDIR, like in make DESTDIR=/tmp install (I suppose you use Makefile generator in this case) You can suppose that the user/developer should (explicitely) call some custom target add_custom_target(TempInstall ${CMAKE_BUILD_TOOL} DESTDIR=${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/tempInstall COMMENT "Install to temporary location for testing purpose") that will install the needed file in a temps location and then use a "test driver" programs or scripts which may be informed of the temp install dir add_test(NAME mytest1 COMMAND testDriver --tmp-install-dir "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/tempInstall" --test=test1) add_test(NAME mytest2 COMMAND testDriver --tmp-install-dir "${CMAKE_BINARY_DIR}/tempInstall" --test=test2) testDriver may itself be built/created by your build process. with this you have to do: make TempInstall make test in order to run the test properly. It would be nice to have a way to make "test" depends on "TempInstall" but I do not know a way to do that: http://public.kitware.com/Bug/view.php?id=8438 -- Erk Membre de l'April - « promouvoir et défendre le logiciel libre » - http://www.april.org -- Powered by www.kitware.com Visit other Kitware open-source projects at http://www.kitware.com/opensource/opensource.html Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Follow this link to subscribe/unsubscribe: http://www.cmake.org/mailman/listinfo/cmake
