ctest_build
-----------
Build the project.
::
ctest_build([BUILD build_dir] [TARGET target] [RETURN_VALUE res]
[APPEND][NUMBER_ERRORS val] [NUMBER_WARNINGS val])
Builds the given build directory and stores results in Build.xml. If
no BUILD is given, the CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY variable is used.
The TARGET variable can be used to specify a build target. If none is
specified, the "all" target will be built.
The RETURN_VALUE option specifies a variable in which to store the
return value of the native build tool. The NUMBER_ERRORS and
NUMBER_WARNINGS options specify variables in which to store the number
of build errors and warnings detected.
The APPEND option marks results for append to those previously
submitted to a dashboard server since the last ctest_start. Append
semantics are defined by the dashboard server in use.
If set the contents of the variable CTEST_BUILD_FLAGS are passed as
additional arguments to the underlying build command. This can e.g. be
used to trigger a parallel build using the -j option of make. See
:module:`ProcessorCount` for an example.
