Help improve the quality of CMake by running a nightly dashboard build on your machine. If you would like to contribute to the CMake project by building a nightly dashboard build, you can follow these instructions:
  • Install CMake 2.4.6 or greater
  • Checkout CMake from cvs:
    cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.cmake.org:/cvsroot/CMake login (password is cmake)
    cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.cmake.org:/cvsroot/CMake co CMake
  • Configure your CMake source tree with binary cmake
  • Test your setup by typing make Experimental, then check the CMake dashboard in the next hour to see if your results are available. Once you are able to submit experimental builds, the next step is setting up a nightly build. The nightly build works in almost the same way, but needs to be run each night by crontab or some other scheduling program.
  • Create a ctest -S script for your machine
