Hi Eric, I used "make test" first, but that failed the same way ctest fails. However, ctest -V at least gave me some more (useful) output.
There's a C++ source file t_hello.cc in the test directory that should be compiled to produce an executable t_hello. So yes, maybe I'm using the wrong arguments. It's not really clear to me what I should specify for --build-project and --test-command. As I said: I must be doing something wrong, but I don't know what exactly. BTW, you broke up the output of "ctest -V", which might suggest that you think I entered several commands, but that's not the case. Best regards, Marcel Loose.
