Build the project and store results in Build.xml
for submission with the ctest_submit() command.
The CTEST_BUILD_COMMAND variable may be set to explicitly
specify the build command line.  Otherwise the build command line is
computed automatically based on the options given.
The options are:
- BUILD <build-dir>
- Specify the top-level build directory. If not given, the - CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORYvariable is used.
- APPEND
- Mark - Build.xmlfor append to results previously submitted to a dashboard server since the last- ctest_start()call. Append semantics are defined by the dashboard server in use. This does not cause results to be appended to a- .xmlfile produced by a previous call to this command.
- CONFIGURATION <config>
- Specify the build configuration (e.g. - Debug). If not specified the- CTEST_BUILD_CONFIGURATIONvariable will be checked. Otherwise the- -C <cfg>option given to the- ctest(1)command will be used, if any.
- PARALLEL_LEVEL <parallel>
- New in version 3.21. - Specify the parallel level of the underlying build system. If not specified, the - CMAKE_BUILD_PARALLEL_LEVELenvironment variable will be checked.
- FLAGS <flags>
- Pass additional arguments to the underlying build command. If not specified the - CTEST_BUILD_FLAGSvariable will be checked. This can, e.g., be used to trigger a parallel build using the- -joption of- make. See the- ProcessorCountmodule for an example.
- PROJECT_NAME <project-name>
- Ignored since CMake 3.0. - Changed in version 3.14: This value is no longer required. 
- TARGET <target-name>
- Specify the name of a target to build. If not specified the - CTEST_BUILD_TARGETvariable will be checked. Otherwise the default target will be built. This is the "all" target (called- ALL_BUILDin Visual Studio Generators).
- NUMBER_ERRORS <num-err-var>
- Store the number of build errors detected in the given variable. 
- NUMBER_WARNINGS <num-warn-var>
- Store the number of build warnings detected in the given variable. 
- RETURN_VALUE <result-var>
- Store the return value of the native build tool in the given variable. 
- CAPTURE_CMAKE_ERROR <result-var>
- New in version 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
- New in version 3.3. - Suppress any CTest-specific non-error output that would have been printed to the console otherwise. The summary of warnings / errors, as well as the output from the native build tool is unaffected by this option.
