Calling Unittest++ from cmake created makefile - cmake

Question

I recently started learning cmake, and have run into a small issue. I got both my executable and the unit tests to compile from the generated makefile without issue. If I run ./test in the build directory, the tests created in UnitTest++ run and complete as expected, printing the results. Is there any way to get make test to simply run the test executable rather than running it inside ctest framework or should I go about this a different way?
Here is a minimal working example of my code:
src/main/main.c is a simple empty main function
src/test/testMain.cpp:
#include <UnitTest++/UnitTest++.h>
TEST(FailSpect)
{
CHECK(false);
}
int main()
{
UnitTest::RunAllTests();
}
CMakeLists.txt:
cmake_minimum_required( VERSION 2.6 )
project( myProject)
enable_testing()
set( myProjectMain
src/main/main.c
)
set( myProjectSrc
)
set( myProjectTestSrc
src/test/testMain.cpp
)
add_executable( myExecutable ${myProjectMain} ${myProjectSrc} )
add_executable( testSuite ${myProjectTestSrc} ${myProjectSrc} )
target_link_libraries( testSuite UnitTest++ )
add_test( testExe testSuite )
make test output:
Running tests...
Start processing tests
Test project /myProjectDir/build
1/ 1 Testing testExe Passed
100% tests passed, 0 tests failed out of 1
./testSuite output:
/myProjectDir/src/test/testMain.cpp:5: error: Failure in FailSpect: false
FAILURE: 1 out of 1 tests failed (1 failures).
Test time: 0.00 seconds.

I have sorted out how to do this. First remove the lines:
enable_testing()
and
add_test(testExe testSuite)
and replace them by the line:
add_custom_target(test ./testExe
DEPENDS ./testExe)
at the end of the CMakeLists.txt file. Now make (all) builds both the tests and the main program. If everything is built already, then make test will just check that the tests are built and run them, producing:
[100%] Built target testExe
/myProjectDir/src/test/testMain.cpp:5: error: Failure in FailSpect: false
FAILURE: 1 out of 1 tests failed (1 failures).
Test time: 0.00 seconds.
[100%] Built target test
If the tests are out of date (after a make clean for instance), then make test will produce:
[100%] Building CXX object CMakeFiles/testExe.dir/src/test/testMain.cpp.o
Linking CXX executable testExe
[100%] Built target testExe
/myProjectDir/src/test/testMain.cpp:5: error: Failure in FailSpect: false
FAILURE: 1 out of 1 tests failed (1 failures).
Test time: 0.00 seconds.
[100%] Built target test
