That's great. I am really keen to make sure this new build system for our installed examples works just as well on Windows as it currently does on my Linux platform so I will try to give you fast turnaround if you discover some inadvertent cross-platform issues. However, such issues should be fairly limited since most of the scripts used are identical to what is used for ctest of the build tree (which both Arjen and Werner say works for them.) However, just to be sure you get the same results they do, I suggest you try ctest first. Once you have confirmed that is working for you, then you should be in good shape to test the new install-tree build system (on any platform. I don't think it has been tested on Mac's, either.) > I assume you are referring to the what you discussed in > your May e-mails "Status of the new CMake-based build system for the > installed examples"? Yes. > Maybe we should add those instructions to the wiki > and/or update README.testing? Yes. I plan to do this before the forthcoming release unless someone else beats me to it.
