Hi John,

This patch works.
make test works and shows only 3 tests:
$ make test
Running tests...
Test project E:/kicad-launchpad/testing_git/Build/Release
    Start 1: common
1/3 Test #1: common ...........................   Passed    0.09 sec
    Start 2: pcbnew
2/3 Test #2: pcbnew ...........................   Passed    0.14 sec
    Start 3: shape_poly_set_refactor
3/3 Test #3: shape_poly_set_refactor ..........   Passed    0.03 sec

100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 3


I also tried to re-add the line:
"pcbnew_kiface_objects"
in qa/pcbnew/CMakeLists.txt

I get this cmake error:
CMake Error at qa/pcbnew/CMakeLists.txt:66 (target_link_libraries):
  Target "pcbnew_kiface_objects" of type OBJECT_LIBRARY may not be linked
  into another target.  One may link only to INTERFACE, STATIC or SHARED
  libraries, or to executables with the ENABLE_EXPORTS property set.

and I have this error both with cmake 3.7 and a recent cmake 3.11 (on msys)

So it can be a cmake issue and/or a operating system issue.

Not easy...

I have 2 OS: W7 32 bits and Linux.
In fact I have 2 Linux installs:
* a "old" Kubuntu 14.04 LTS (using KDE) install (similar to our Jenkins
install: it allows me to fix some issues found by Jenkins).
* a more recent Ubuntu 16.04 LTS (using Unity) install to catch some
other issues (especially Unity specific)

And I already committed broken patches.

Of course, I cannot test OSX builds.
