# ctest_configure

Perform the CTest Configure Step as a Dashboard Client.

    ctest_configure([BUILD <build-dir>] [SOURCE <source-dir>] [APPEND]
                    [OPTIONS <options>] [RETURN_VALUE <result-var>] [QUIET])

Configure the project build tree and record results in `Configure.xml` for submission with the `ctest_submit()` command.

The options are:

`BUILD <build-dir>`
  Specify the top-level build directory. If not given, the `CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY` variable is used.
`SOURCE <source-dir>`
  Specify the source directory. If not given, the `CTEST_SOURCE_DIRECTORY` variable is used.
`APPEND`
  Mark results for append to those previously submitted to a dashboard server since the last `ctest_start()` call. Append semantics are defined by the dashboard server in use.
`OPTIONS <options>`
  Specify command-line arguments to pass to the configuration tool.
`RETURN_VALUE <result-var>`
  Store in the `<result-var>` variable the return value of the native configuration tool.
`QUIET`
  Suppress any CTest-specific non-error messages that would have otherwise been printed to the console. Output from the underlying configure command is not affected.
