ctest_configure

Perform the :ref:CTest Configure Step as a :ref:Dashboard Client.

.. code-block:: cmake

ctest_configure([BUILD <build-dir>] [SOURCE <source-dir>] [APPEND] [OPTIONS <options>] [RETURN_VALUE <result-var>] [QUIET] [CAPTURE_CMAKE_ERROR <result-var>])

Configure the project build tree and record results in Configure.xml for submission with the :command:ctest_submit command.

The options are:

BUILD <build-dir> Specify the top-level build directory. If not given, the :variable:CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY variable is used.

SOURCE <source-dir> Specify the source directory. If not given, the :variable:CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY variable is used.

APPEND Mark Configure.xml for append to results previously submitted to a dashboard server since the last :command:ctest_start call. Append semantics are defined by the dashboard server in use. This does not cause results to be appended to a .xml file produced by a previous call to this command.

OPTIONS <options> Specify command-line arguments to pass to the configuration tool.

RETURN_VALUE <result-var> Store in the <result-var> variable the return value of the native configuration tool.

CAPTURE_CMAKE_ERROR <result-var> .. versionadded:: 3.7

Store in the <result-var> variable -1 if there are any errors running the command and prevent ctest from returning non-zero if an error occurs.

QUIET .. versionadded:: 3.3

Suppress any CTest-specific non-error messages that would have otherwise been printed to the console. Output from the underlying configure command is not affected.
