I followed the directions at
http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Testing_With_CTest for enabling dashboard
testing of PLplot, and they appear to work. The only CMake build system
change was to change our top-level CMakeLists.txt file to replace
"ENABLE_TESTING()" by "INCLUDE(CTest)".
After that change, the results of
ctest -D Experimental
were as follows:
Site: chickadee
Build name: Linux-c++
Create new tag: 20070630-1606 - Experimental

Submission successful
By default, the dashboard results were sent to the Kitware public dashboard
which are collected at
http://public.kitware.com/Public/Dashboard/20070630-0100-Nightly/Dashboard.html,
but it appears we will have to wait until 1:00 (UTC) to actually see
the above results in html form.
Since this submission of ctest results to the Kitware public dashboard
appears to work, I encourage everyone here to try such submission following
the instructions at http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_Testing_With_CTest.
"ctest -D Experimental" is the simplest thing you can do, but it appears the
instructions show how to set up an automatic nightly build from the svn
version of PLplot which should give us some much-needed comprehensive
automatic testing of the PLplot code once each day on the wide variety of
platforms that are accessible to us as a group.
