11
12Configure the project build tree and record results in ``Configure.xml``
13for submission with the :command:`ctest_submit` command.
14
15The options are:
16
17``BUILD <build-dir>``
18 Specify the top-level build directory. If not given, the
19 :variable:`CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY` variable is used.
20
21``SOURCE <source-dir>``
22 Specify the source directory. If not given, the
23 :variable:`CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY` variable is used.
24
25``APPEND``
26 Mark ``Configure.xml`` for append to results previously submitted to a
27 dashboard server since the last :command:`ctest_start` call.
28 Append semantics are defined by the dashboard server in use.
29 This does *not* cause results to be appended to a ``.xml`` file
30 produced by a previous call to this command.
31
32``OPTIONS <options>``
33 Specify command-line arguments to pass to the configuration tool.
34
35``RETURN_VALUE <result-var>``
36 Store in the ``<result-var>`` variable the return value of the native
37 configuration tool.
38
39``CAPTURE_CMAKE_ERROR <result-var>``
40 .. versionadded:: 3.7
41
42 Store in the ``<result-var>`` variable -1 if there are any errors running
43 the command and prevent ctest from returning non-zero if an error occurs.
44
45``QUIET``
46 .. versionadded:: 3.3
47
48 Suppress any CTest-specific non-error messages that would have
49 otherwise been printed to the console. Output from the underlying
50 configure command is not affected.
