It can be done, but will require some cmake changes.
Let me try to explain this part of my frustration. Some time ago, Alan told me I could exhibit the Tk segfault by going into the installed examples and running make test_interactive. That does "work", in the sense that it does allow me, after roughly 80 clicks/returns, to see the fabled Tk segfault. But the build flags (debug in this case) don't seem to carry over to the post install tests. Werner suggested -DBUILD_TEST=ON, and test in the build tree. But the build tree doesn't actually contain the examples in question, though it has plenty of others. Frankly it does not make sense to me that you should have to install in order to be able to test. Nor does it make sense to me that if you ask to build tests, that they should not all be built. This seems to me to be completely independent of the make test_interactive business, which is really just a convenient way to execute a test regimin, rather than a build option. And even if we could find a way to reason that it made sense to install before you can test, well, the build options should be preserved. To get a debuggable xtk01, I had to: configure (cmake) a debug build (lots of missteps there) figure out how to request verbosity make && make install (to get debug libs) cd to install tree do another make, so I could see the build steps. Do the build of xtk01 again manually, adding in the missing options. I've tried to leave out of this list, the things which were attributable to me be a cmake newbie. At this point, far as I know, the above is the simplest procedure to do what I needed. To me, this seems like an awful lot of work to have to go through for something as basic as building the tests with debug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensign option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Plplot-devel mailing list Plplot-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/plplot-devel
