I use CTest scripts for the build (ctest -S) which set CTEST_BUILD_COMMAND.
Alternatively I think setting CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS to add flags to the
build command instead of replacing it should work as well.
Subsequent calls to "ctest_build()" in the script pick up and use the
command as set earlier.

We have a simple automated test/build setup. A basic CTestConfig.cmake
sets the project name and CTEST_DROP properties and the test server
simply runs "ctest --D Nightly" or "ctest --D Experimental" to process
a build.
I have two problems that I think I could solve if I can work out how
to specify additional options for the make command used to do the
build. To debug a rare issue we're having I'd like to be able to use
"make --d" and I would also like to be able to perform the build in
parallel "make --j8" but run the tests in serial (this seems to rule
out using "ctest --j8")
First I thought I could use the "--build-options
<http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.8/ctest.html#opt:--build-options>"
option in CTest but after having no luck and looking at the source it
looks like this option is only used when "--build-and-test" is
requested perhaps? It appears that a number of these command (eg
--build-makeprogram) are only used by CTest when used in conjunction
with certain other options and not when using "-D"?
I've found some old posts that talk about using a CTest scripting file
to set the initial cache value "MAKECOMMAND:STRING=/usr/bin/make -i
-j8" or "set(CTEST_BUILD_COMMAND "make -j4 -i") " -- I haven't had
much luck with this so far and am wondering if this is still a
valid/recommended approach?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Matt
