Re: [CMake] runtime dependencies for tests

[Massaro Alessio]

OK, one step forward. The following works as suggested in
http://www.cmake.org/pipermail/cmake/2009-May/029425.html

set(newPath "${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS};$ENV{PATH}")
string(REPLACE ";" "\\;" newPath "${newPath}")
set_tests_properties(${mod_name} PROPERTIES ENVIRONMENT 
"PATH=${newPath}")

Thanks to everyone for the feedback!

The following does not work, afaics

add_test(NAME ${mod_name} COMMAND ${mod_name}) set_tests_properties(${mod_name} 
PROPERTIES ENVIRONMENT "PATH=${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS};$ENV{PATH}")

Am I doing something stupid?

IMO, the easiest approach is to use the ENVIRONMENT test property to tweak the 
PATH environment variable for the tests, e.g. by appending/ prepending 
${Boost_LIBRARY_DIRS} etc. A more radical but cumbersome approach is to use the 
BundleUtilities to perform a completed test installation - preferably beneath 
the build tree - and run the tests therein. Finally, you might copy the 
required libraries to the build tree by a custom target or custom commands, or 
by a test on its own in conjunction with the DEPENDS test property, but that's 
even more cumbersome.

Re: [CMake] runtime dependencies for tests

[Jean-Christophe Fillion-Robin]

Hi Alessio,

You could either use a "forwarded" launcher is it's done in paraview.
See 
Applications/ParaView/CMakeLists.txt,
CMake/pv-forward.c.in,
add_executable_with_forwarding

Or you could also use the CTKAppLauncher. See
http://www.commontk.org/index.php/Tools:_Application_launcher.

See also how the CTK app launcher is integrated in Slicer:
https://github.com/Slicer/Slicer/blob/master/Applications/SlicerQT/CMakeLists.txt#L206

[CMake] runtime dependencies for tests

[Massaro Alessio]

Hi There

I googled near and far, but could not find a way to tell CTest where to find 
the 3rd-party DLLs required to run the test executables.
In particular my executable targets link with a few Boost DLLs/SOs and 
obviously require them to run.

I understand on the Linux/Solaris I can use RPATH support in CMake.
But I can't find a way to do it on my primary target platform, WIN32-msvc9.

I've already tried several variants of calling configure_file in a function the 
following way:

   configure_file("${some_dbg_boost_dll_file}" 
"${CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY_DEBUG}" COPYONLY)

I'm open to all sorts of solutions: copy DLLs in place, set the PATH 
environment variable, ... anything!

I just need a pointer to show me some way to do it.

Thank you in advance!
