cmake does not run ctest. ctest is driving the dashboard client build. First it configures the project. Then it builds the project. Then it runs the tests. The "build the project" step means it needs to run the native build tool. ctest uses "cmake --build . --config Debug" to do that. The native build tool somehow exits non-zero, and "cmake --build" returns that error code. As far as "ctest" knows, "cmake --build ..." is the build tool, and it exited with non-zero. That is why the message appears. -Brad -- Powered by www.kitware.com Please keep messages on-topic and check the CMake FAQ at: http://www.cmake.org/Wiki/CMake_FAQ Kitware offers various services to support the CMake community.
