ctest fails on the target, because it cannot find CMake.cmake inside CMAKE_DATA_DIR (typically set to "/usr/share/cmake-3.0"): all *.cmake files are removed at build time via the target-finalize rule. This buildroot-specific patch makes sure ctest looks also for "Modules/CMake.cmake.ctest" before complaining Signed-off-by: Davide Viti --- cmake-3.0.2/Source/cmake.cxx~ 2014-09-11 15:24:01.000000000 +0200 +++ cmake-3.0.2/Source/cmake.cxx 2014-11-25 15:48:04.461033690 +0100 @@ -957,7 +957,10 @@ "Path to cpack program executable.", cmCacheManager::INTERNAL); #endif if(!cmSystemTools::FileExists( - (cmSystemTools::GetCMakeRoot()+"/Modules/CMake.cmake").c_str())) + (cmSystemTools::GetCMakeRoot()+"/Modules/CMake.cmake").c_str()) && + !cmSystemTools::FileExists( + (cmSystemTools::GetCMakeRoot()+"/Modules/CMake.cmake.ctest").c_str()) + ) { // couldn't find modules cmSystemTools::Error("Could not find CMAKE_ROOT !!!\n"
