TubeTK/Dashboard Scripts
Overview
TubeTK uses a novel configuration-file based method for installing dashboard machines. In general, you will perform an initial download of TubeTK, copy an example configuration file to the level above the TubeTK source, edit that file as appropriate, and then setup cron jobs to call script files that are distributed with TubeTK and that are controlled by your configuration file.
TubeTK's current dashboard is available at: https://www.kitware.com/CDash/index.php?project=TubeTK
Tutorial
Assuming that your top-level dashboard directory is call "Dashboards" this tutorial assumes that you want a directory structure with the following hierarchy
Dashboards/TubeTK
Dashboards/TubeTK-${BUILD_TYPE}
where ${BUILD_TYPE} is one of Release, Debug, RelWithDebInfo, ...
Background
- You must have CMake 2.8.8 or greater installed to run a TubeTK dashboard system.
- You must have Qt 4.7 or greater installed to compile TubeTK
- This tutorial assumes you have some knowledge of CMake and CTest
Checkout a new TubeTK for your dashboard
> cd Dashboards > git clone git://tubetk.org/TubeTK.git
Initialize local configuration file
The configuration file "<MachineName>_TubeTK.cmake" belongs at the top of the Dashboards directory. For example,
Dashboards/MyMachine_TubeTK.cmake
Linux
> cp TubeTK/CMake/DashboardScripts/TubeTK_CDashClient_Linux.cmake MyMachine_TubeTK.cmake
Note that a single configuration file can control Nightly, Continuous, and Experimental build options.
Windows
> cp TubeTK/CMake/DashboardScripts/tubetk_config.cmake-windows MyMachine_TubeTK.cmake
Edit local configuration file
The file has two parts. The first part contains commonly changed variables. The second part is for advanced users only.

Setup cron job
Linux
crontab -l 0 23 * * * /home/kitware/Dashboards/cmake-2.8.8/bin/ctest -V -VV -S /home/kitware/Dashboards/MyMachine_TubeTK.cmake -O /home/kitware/Dashboards/MyMachine_TubeTK.log
Windows
Edit the two bat files that include the necessary vcvars.bat files for Visual Studio to work:
edit Dashboards/tubetk_nightly_windows.bat
Setup "Scheduled Jobs" to execute those batch files.
