Hi David,

The GNC_ADD_TEST function is defined in src/cmake_modules/GncAddTest.cmake.
See here:
https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash/blob/master/src/cmake_modules/GncAddTest.cmake#L40


Perhaps you only have a partial checkout of the branch? What version of
CMake are you using (cmake -version) and on what platform? For what it's
worth, I just checked that master builds on Ubuntu 16.04 without error.

Regards,

Rob
